Got the Optima installed today and discovered a bonus...

The top terminals work great for connecting the winch cables.

I know but at $220.00 a pop, I think I'll wait a while.

why the red as opposed to the yellow???

I'm a big believer in the Optima batteries I have three installed. My H2, LX470 and a classic car I have. Worth every penny especially in the classic car, starts up everytime, even when its been sitting there for awhile.

After reading up on them, I determined for my application the red one was the way to go.
The yellow one is designed to be discharged almost to zero and then charged back up again.
I don't have a monster stereo system and I don't run the winch with the engine shut down.
The red one (with 1000 cranking amps) should do just fine.
