Please explain to me what the different colored tops of the Optima batteries means. Specifically, I need a battery for a four cylinder Toyota dirt track race car. The races are short, about 20 laps on a 1/3 mile oval, practice and two 20 lap races each week. I don't need it to be light weight. I will put the battery where I need more weight anyway. I do intend to run without an alternator, and will power the ignition, starter, fuel pump, and radiator fan. It would be important for the battery to withstand this type of discharge, before being recharged at home each week. Please give me your views on my plans, and your opinion as to the correct battery for this application. Money is an object, so I would prefer the least expensive way I could go. I have received information from other racers, who either said that it couldn't be done, or that they do it all the time. Now, I thought I would ask someone, who can tell me the truth.
Thanks,
Verne

Thank you for this outstanding article.I thought Centrino was the best technology for laptop battery performance.
thanks,Other small improvements in battery life may be gained by the ability to turn off USB ports individually to save power.
thanks,How about not keeping your laptop battery plugged in all the time. Take it out when you are using the power cord.
The laptop batteries were seen as a fire risk. If a laptop had caught on fire on a flight it could have been particularly serious.
