This is not a real YellowTop®, is it?

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)

no, not that one, this one

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

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.
