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

Here are the options from Optima, but with all those extras, I would bump up to the D34 or D31A size if you have or can make room for a bit bigger battery...
Here is a link , you can compare sizes, etc ... just scroll down the page a little to the Yellow top batteries...

Oddysey vs Optima
Hello again,
I recieved the Odyssey PC1500T battery today, and just got it installed. It's awesome! It replaced 2 Optima Red Tops that were about 7 years old and one recently leaked acid from one cell, so this PC1500T obviously blows them away. The Starter has a higher pitch (Higher RPM - maintains higher voltage under load) with this one PC1500 than with both of the Optimas in parallel - even when they were brand-new! I can't wait to check out my audio system with this bad boy. I think I could have squeezed a 1750 under my hood, but I'm sure I'll be 110% happy with this PC1500...
I left positive feedback on eBay and I always appreciate the same in return.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190152300565
PS - Do you know anywhere that sells special battery brackets or specific adaptors so this battery will fit snugly with a stock battery mount in the stock location? Currently, I modded one of the Optima baseplate adaptors as a top-mounted spacer, but it leaves much to be desired - asthetically speaking :-) I'm driving a 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 V6. The stock battery mount height is about 1" too tall...
Thanks again
