What were ya aiming for?

The Red tops are their standard battery, yellow tops their extreme, blues are marine, and the commercials are also yellow tops.

Yes you should be fine as long as they meet or exceed the CCA requirements.

Which ones DM??? They have two different Yellow Tops - one is the regular deep cycle type and the other is Group 31's (Commercial batteries). Probably should have got the starting battery (The red top).

If you got the second ones, you got a GOOD deal.

I think the yellows will work just fine for you...and Im sure Optima will stand behind them if they crap out.
