OPTIMA YellowTop Batteries

Our Promise

Ultimate Power, for the ultimate professionals, for the ultimate enthusiasts. And for the ultimate experience. That's our goal each and every day. No matter how extreme the conditions, OPTIMA delivers Ultimate Power. We look for every technological advantage to push the limits of what's possible and leave pretenders in our dust.

We manufacture our own batteries in our own facilities to our demanding standards. To ensure quality and consistency in our batteries, no matter where they are being sold - our batteries are never re-labled or re-spec'd.

Everything you need

The OPTIMA YellowTop high-performance AGM battery is one of the only true dual-purpose automotive batteries available. With premium cranking power and unparalleled cycling capability (rechargeability), it is perfect for modern accessory-loaded vehicles. With a 40-year history of technological innovation and engineering OPTIMA products offer unstoppable power for extreme enthusiasts and others who require the ultimate power source.

Trucks with winches, vehicles with high-demand electronics and audio systems, commercial vehicles and heavy equipment can all rely on this battery to provide ultimate starting and deep-cycle power. It also functions well as a forklift battery, tractor battery, or for other applications.

  • Deep-cycle and cranking power
  • Up to 3x longer life and maintenance-free
  • More than 15 times the vibration resistance
  • Spillproof, mountable in virtually any position
  • Faster recharging and 300+ discharge/recharge cycles

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.

What's the difference between OPTIMA RedTop, YellowTop, and BlueTop Batteries?

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.

Product Description

Optima D35 YellowTop battery provides the extra performance and deep-cycling capability that your vehicle demands if it has a lot of accessories like running lights, high-performance stereo/AV system, winches, or hydraulics. The unique SpiralCell design provides a strong and clean power source, ensuring the safety of you, your family and the environment. The Optima battery is ideal for seasonal use because of its very low self-discharge rate. That means you can store your seasonal vehicles all winter without regular charging and still spring out of the starting block when winter is over.

    This is the only battery you need.
    I first bought a red top for my car, a 99 Honda Accord. And I decided to replace it with a yellow top after 3 years. This yellow top has been in my car since March of 2016. It is still going strong and the voltage is always the same. For maintenance, I just cleaned the terminals at least once a year. I'll be buying another one next year for my other car.

    1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: NO WARRANTY! CANADA DIRECT IS NOT A AUTHORIZED SELLER.
    Reviewed in Canada on January 24, 2021
    Dead after 2 years. My battery says right on the label that it has a "3-year free replacement with proof of purchase" and "For warranty service return battery to location where originally purchased." Canada Direct - Often Ships Same Day (the company's full name) sold me the battery.

    Canada Direct - Often Ships Same Day: "... for warranty claims this is handled by Optima directly. For us we fully abide by Amazon's 30 days returns policy."

    Optima: "Optima does not supply Amazon.ca with batteries. The warranty is listed on the top label of your battery and is the warranty period Canada Direct should be using." "Just for future reference we don't recommend buying batteries from Amazon.ca or any online reseller that is not an authorized seller. "

    "Canada Direct - Often Ships Same Day" also goes by "Piece of Cake LTD" and "Lots of Stuff", which makes it hard to track down contact information. Amazon won't give it to you.
