**I can't give you a comparison.. however I can say I'll NEVER own another yellow top--they don't work for me.

I replaced the one in my civic several times over the course of the 2 yr warranty... I'm talking every 3,4,or 5 months.. I had one extra 1200cca group 31 acid batt in the back powering my amps with the yellow under the hood..

I've been told it was possibly caused by the high charging voltage of my H/O Alt... When I was burning them up my alt put out right at 14.8-14.9volts and 200A at 2,000 rpm... I swapped out to a duralast gold and never fried another batt..

***other people LOVE their yellow tops.. I've just not had good luck.

Yellow and Blue is the same battery.

Just one has a different coating on the post, supposedly.

The Deka's John linked are great for the money, SVR's are solid too. PowerMaster ranks near the top.
