A yellow top only has a one year warranty, but it is a deep cycle style battery made for marine use. You will probably have a hard time killing it by drawing it with normal current draw of a D. But if the voltage drops below about 9 volts it's toast. I do like the idea of a sealed gell cell battery but they really need to be charged regularly, and in the car has to be driven.
