Optima YellowTop Battery

OPTIMA YellowTop™ Batteries are designed as DEEP-CYCLE batteries and have many uses. Everything from Recreational vehicles, golf carts, electric wheelchairs, alarm systems, emergency lighting, backup power systems, orbiting satellite communication systems, emergency vehicles etc can use these batteries. Anything that uses batteries in a cyclic manor, benefits greatly from these batteries. Unusually for DEEP-CYCLE batteries, they are happy to produce large currents and so can also double as starter batteries. This allows the use of a single (deep-cycle) battery in a boat/car/generator/race vehicle, or one with auxiliary systems or equipment that runs when the engine is stopped.  Also suitable for heavy winching situations where the battery is drained due to constant winching.  This kind of treatment would mean very short battery life in the case of a "conventional" style battery.

Some typical deep cycle, and Dual uses:

• Recreational Vehicles, camping power supplies
• Alarm systems, emergency lighting
• Backup power systems
• Orbiting satellite communication systems
• Emergency vehicles outfitted with lots of electrical equipment and need to start engines
• Electric Vehicles and multi fuel vehicles
• Trains
• Buoys, standby generators
• Industrial cranes, diggers, and road maintenance equipment.
• Boats
• Golf carts, Electric wheelchairs
• Cars with powerful sound Systems or entertainment Systems.
• Anything in fact that needs a Deep-Cycle operation or/and a starter battery

Optima YellowTop is made to install and forget. No matter the conditions, be it dampness, heat, dirt or exposure to extremes in vibration or discharge, it is guaranteed to deliver uninterrupted power throughout the entire discharge cycle. The ability to hold a high charge throughout the discharge cycle makes it possible to utilize more of the stored power in the OPTIMA, compared to ordinary batteries. All of these benefits are due to OPTIMA's SpiralCell Technology®, which combines the advantages of a starting battery (High current capability) with those of a deep cycle battery (no damage due to repeated deep discharge cycles). It handles discharges as well as recharges without losing significant capacity and is ideal for seasonal use because it has a very low self discharge rate.

OPTIMA SpiralCell Technology has some real advantages over conventional batteries.

• 1.5 - 2 times longer life than traditional batteries
• Optimal power for starting regardless of temperature
• Extreme vibration resistance
• Long Storage times without damage or discharge
• Non spill able - even upside down
• Can be fitted and used in any position
• Maintenance free
• More starting power in a smaller package than conventional batteries
• Less deterioration due to deep discharge than conventional batteries
• More "cycles" before aging than conventional batteries
• Can be used in extreme temperatures
• Faster charging is possible compared with conventional batteries

OPTIMA delivers high current regardless of temperature. The OPTIMA delivers no less than 800 AMPS at 0 degrees F and as much as 1,100 AMPS at warmer temperatures! In addition, Optima will absorb nearly 100% of the recharge current from alternators and battery chargers.

The Optima will consistently deliver 1,100 cranking amps for 25 to 30 seconds. At only 38 pounds this is comparable to batteries 4 times its size and weight.

SEALED, VIBRATION RESISTANT, AND LEAK PROOF EVEN WHEN BROKEN
In an OPTIMA battery, the lead plates and separator are wound and tightly compressed into a cell tube so they can't move, shed, or break, even in severe shock and vibration applications. In independent SAE tests, the OPTIMA kept working after being subjected to vibrations up to 5G for 12 hours. As in all AGM TECHNOLOGY BATTERIES, there is no "free acid" that can leak out or spill and the OPTIMA can be operated effectively in any position -- even upside down -- without any risk of leaking and because it is sealed, no corrosion can form on the posts, connectors, or cables.
