RE: my battery is gay.
 

Ok, I don't know if this matters any longer, but I did give a call over to Optima. After waiting for a while to talk to a gal named Courtney (as specified by another member whom I don't even know if he's here any longer), I asked her about the differences between deep cycle and starting batteries (ie red top vs yellow top). She did state that the red top is an everyday use battery and compared with the yellow top, the cranking amps (what you get initially when you start the truck) is quite a bit higher when compared with the yellow top. Battery frame size comparisons yield around a 200 amp difference in favor of the red top. Now, that is comparing batteries within Optima. However, lets compare the Optima battery to a run of the mill 'stock' battery, the yellow tops CA rating (again for the same frame battery), is actually slightly higher. Another question I asked was about the recharge rate effecting the deep cycle battery when used in a daily driver. She stated that a deep cycle battery DOES NOT need to be drained often to maintain its 'health'. The ONLY downside to running a deep cycle battery is the CA/CCA available.

Oh and m00n... We weren't making fun of you. I couldn't resist, but Aaron... I don't know... LOL j/k!
