Re: [DML] Optima Batteries?

["Bernie" <bmanderville@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
