Gentlemen, Start Your Engines

The RedTop high-performance AGM battery is the ultimate starting battery designed to deliver a powerful burst of ignition power for a reliable start-up every time. It will withstand hard launches, extreme corners and is race proven for every road every day whether it's used as a truck battery, automotive battery, or for other applications. Its reputation as a truck battery or automotive battery is unsurpassed.

SpiralCell Technology

At the heart of every OPTIMA battery is a series of individual spiral-wound cells comprised of two pure (99.99%) lead plates coated in a precise coating of lead oxide. One coated plate is positive and the other is negative.

The unique manufacturing process of spiral winding continuous lead plates is far more precision-controlled and expensive than building traditional flat plate AGM batteries. Custom automated cell-winding machines are required to maintain the close tolerances required to maintain quality and performance. Critical tolerances, temperatures, humidity and automated processes are maintained and constantly monitored.

OPTIMA has built over 100 million individual spiral cells since the early 1990’s.

RedTop

For normal engine starting where an alternator immediately monitors the state of charge and provides energy to the battery whenever it is needed.

This would describe most stock vehicles, including: automotive and RV underhood starting, heavy equipment where starting is the primary function, and diesel vehicles without aftermarket electronics.

YellowTop

Use this when electrical loads are higher than average, or when the discharge cycle is more than typical engine starting, such as vehicles with multiple electronic accessories and vehicles without alternators. This can also include vehicles with a lot of factory electronics such as power sliding doors and a DVD player. Examples also include: racing vehicles without a charging system, dedicated drag racers, diesel powered vehicles with aftermarket electronics, and vehicles with inverters, winches, or other accessories.

BlueTop

The BlueTop starting battery (dark gray case) is to be used when a dedicated starting battery is required and it should never be used for cycling duty. Use a BlueTop starting battery for marine applications and RVs when the battery's only function is engine starting.

The dual purpose BlueTop (light gray case) can be used for both starting and deep cycling -- it is a true deep cycle battery with extremely high cranking power. Uses include: trolling motors, marine applications with heavy electrical accessories, and RVs.

User questions & answers

Question:	will it fit and work with my ford
Answer:	Most Fords have 65 group batteries in them some have 34 group all that don't matter what matters is what side the positive post is on. If the positive is on the right side then you will need a reverse post battery. I believe a 9020-164 has a reverse post. But for the battery box size these optimas are universal and will fit almost any battery box in the western hemisphere. So just take a peek at yours if the label is facing you and red on right then you have a reverse post, but if not then the standard 34/78 will fit perfectly. On the optima box it's self there is a packaging cover that comes will all optimas and. There is several adapters to make the 34/78 battery fit most cars and trucks.
Question:	Right now i have 2 yellow tops, 1 under the hood for engine, and 1 in the trunk for my sub. would i be better off putting a red top for engine/4eat
Answer:	From what I have been told---the Red top has higher initial cranking power and the yellow top has better storage capabilities---I have them on my trailers.
Question:	Does the optima battery come with a warranty
Answer:	Optima batteries are made in Mexico. They only honor the 36 month warranty on the 1st battery, not the replacement. Save your money.
Question:	Ok so I have a aftermarket stereo double din and big speakers. I read yellow top was better for my use. Is this battery good too
Answer:	The Yellow Top might be better for your needs. Red Tops provide more cranking power. Yellow Tops provide more reserve if you listen to your stereo with the engine off. I had a Yellow Top in a car with an underdrive pulley on the alternator and a 1,200 watt system (RMS not that peak rating crap either) and that battery lasted through 5 years of torture.

User questions & answers

Question:	which of these batteries would fit into a 1979 MG midget, 2 door convertible
Answer:	I believe all of them would fit into a 1979 MG Midget. They're not that small.....
Question:	This says unboxed. How is it packaged? Does it come with all the accessories in the retail box including spacing adapters
Answer:	Yes, mine came with the appropriate spacers for my particular form factor. I have a 2001 f-150 and I am sure glad it came with the spacers because I had to use one of them to get it to fit. I comes in a box with the spacer inside of it. So as far as the spacers go, Optima thought of everything! I am very pleased with the product!
Question:	does this battery come fully charged
Answer:	Mine came fully charged, my vehicle indicates 12.0V (engine not running) and ~13.8 to 14.0V (engine running). I keep this vehicle hooked up to a Deltran Battery Tender and it did not take too long for the Battery Tender to register Green (fully charged) once hooked up (~a few hours or so).
Question:	I see concerns about an Amazon warranty after 1 year yet the warranty noted in Amazon for the red top is clearly 36 months. What's the real deal
Answer:	It's 36 months through Optima. Unlike going back to the parts store what you have to do is file a claim with Amazon customer service. They do all the leg work from there. So here is the issue you have to decide if it's worth it or not. It can take a week between customer service contact, optima approves, new battery received. Can you make it a week without a battery??I have only seen one issue with an Optima battery back when I worked at a marine dealer. We sold a hundred or so a year (was there 2-1/2 years). Mine is only a couple months old, but I did accidentally kill it installing amps, subs, stereo, and it recharged and has no issues. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many battery and what model of your product batteries needed for ac 220 volt for motor 3.49 amp to running it by inverter 3000 watts for 12 hours
Answer:	The answer is way too many. 220 volts at 3.49 amps means 64 amps at 12 volts, which is the very near the 66 amp rating of the battery. Since the battery should never be drained below 50%, the answer is you would need two to run your motor for 1 hour, or 24 to run it for 12 hours. You'd be better off looking at some 8D lithium batteries. They hold 255 amps and can be run down to 20% of capacity. Please note it would be cheaper to run a generator.
Question:	What is the warranty when purchased from Amazon
Answer:	All optima's have a 2 year warranty.
Question:	what is date of manufacture if buying 2 right now
Answer:	Never buy this battery from Amazon. Amazon sent me a worthless battery, does not take it back, and does not refund your money. The Optimum dealers, or the company itself, will not accept the battery because you didn't buy it from the dealer. DO NOT BUY THIS FROM AMAZON. Find a dealer who will give you a warranty, and replace it if they sell you a dud. Learn from my expensive mistake. That's the only advice that really counts. (For me, I bought a great marine battery from Costco, and brought the Optimum battery to a recycler for disposal.)
Question:	how many AH
Answer:	On top of battery AH 66

Installing an OPTIMA BlueTop high-performance AGM battery in your boat or RV means exceptional running time and more recharges than you’d get out of a traditional battery. It’s the perfect marine battery for boats with trolling motors, extensive electronic systems, and works well as an RV battery for RVs with creature comforts that tend to drain batteries quickly. On top of providing outstanding vibration resistance, the BlueTop efficient power delivery and faster recharge time mean you’ll spend less time worrying about your battery. This means more time for fun. Again and again. This flexible boat battery and RV battery is ideal for those who need a sure-starting, strong-cranking, maintenance-free power source.

SpiralCell Technology

At the heart of every OPTIMA battery is a series of individual spiral-wound cells comprised of two pure (99.99%) lead plates coated in a precise coating of lead oxide. One coated plate is positive and the other is negative.

The unique manufacturing process of spiral winding continuous lead plates is far more precision-controlled and expensive than building traditional flat plate AGM batteries. Custom automated cell-winding machines are required to maintain the close tolerances required to maintain quality and performance. Critical tolerances, temperatures, humidity and automated processes are maintained and constantly monitored.

OPTIMA has built over 100 million individual spiral cells since the early 1990’s. No one knows how to build the highest quality and best performing spiral-wound batteries better than OPTIMA.

RedTop

For normal engine starting where an alternator immediately monitors the state of charge and provides energy to the battery whenever it is needed.

This would describe most stock vehicles, including: automotive and RV underhood starting, heavy equipment where starting is the primary function, and diesel vehicles without aftermarket electronics.

YellowTop

Use this when electrical loads are higher than average, or when the discharge cycle is more than typical engine starting, such as vehicles with multiple electronic accessories and vehicles without alternators. This can also include vehicles with a lot of factory electronics such as power sliding doors and a DVD player. Examples also include: racing vehicles without a charging system, dedicated drag racers, diesel powered vehicles with aftermarket electronics, and vehicles with inverters, winches, or other accessories.

BlueTop

The BlueTop starting battery (dark gray case) is to be used when a dedicated starting battery is required and it should never be used for cycling duty. Use a BlueTop starting battery for marine applications and RVs when the battery's only function is engine starting.

User questions & answers

Question:	I hear these batteries are damaged if they go below 80% charge, is there a guarantee I will receive a fully charged battery
Answer:	I’ve drained mine below 50% numerous times on my boat stereo and after 5 years they still charge back to 100%. The key is when not using to keep them on a quality float charger
Question:	Can this be mounted on its side
Answer:	Yes no acid
Question:	Does this come with any 5/16 wing nuts for the studs or something's similar
Answer:	Yes it does. I'd have to go check, but I think it has a 3/8" stud for the positive and 5/16" for the negative, along with standard battery posts.
Question:	What does the "Amp-Hour" rating of this battery translate to in deep-cycle mode
Answer:	For trolling motor use you would divide the current draw of the motor into the number of amp hours to find out how long the battery would perform at that level.
