Throughout each ownership, building the absolute best product and bringing it to market has been the focus for our brand. We have never outsourced production, re-branded, re-spec'd or otherwise compromised our commitment to making the best batteries possible. YellowTops are heavier than their RedTop counterparts and offer slightly more reserve capacity and the ability to be deep-cycled, while the RedTops offer slightly more cranking amps.
