This is not a real YellowTop®, is it? - space-time - 02-22-2010

The YellowTop® seems to be a registered trademark for those Optima batteries, but this is NOT an Optima battery. In fact I am not even sure it is dual purpose, it does not say anywhere on the battery.
Anyway, I think this is false advertising, but I got one anyway since they had a deal where I should get $40 back (in fact a coupon), which makes the net cost very reasonable.

Another Yellow Top sighting?
(or maybe just a typo on Advance Auto's part)
Re: This is not a real YellowTop®, is it? - space-time - 02-22-2010

If you can find a new Optima Yellow Top for $95, please post a RYF-- been wanting one forever.

That's a small battery-- 5" wide?
What are you going to use it for?

These look like motorcycle or lawnmower batteries to me.

AAP like accidentally used Yellow Top in their headline (to accidently get search hits)
Not a real Optima at all. Googling around shows that AAP batteries are made
by Excide and/or Johnson Control

Maybe you need to plan your time better. Try this:
9 AM to 12 PM-- start threads
1 PM to 3 PM-- read threads other people started
3 PM to midnight- start threads.
Once you're used to that two hour stretch of not starting threads, try to expand it by an hour or two each week.
