Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 350 Registered: Feb-05 | actually i've seen a lot of people at bass comps using the blue tops, i guess they have more reserve or something. idk how it'd work in a daily driver though |

Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 357 Registered: Feb-05 | yeah, but apparently they work well in db drag comps |

New member Username: LotusPost Number: 3 Registered: Apr-05 | I though they used them because they're made for running without the engine running... like to power a trolling motor etc |

Silver Member Username: GoonPost Number: 117 Registered: Feb-05 | so would a yellowtop take replace the need for a HO alternator? or seperate issues? goon |
|
Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 362 Registered: Feb-05 | no, getting a yellow top isn't gonna solve the problems a HO alternator will. |
|
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 7721 Registered: Dec-03 | different issue the yellow top helps when the engine is off the alternator is the sole source of current when the car is running |

Silver Member Username: Joe_cOakwood, Ga Post Number: 140 Registered: Mar-05 | hey glass if you hate ppl not looking stuff up then how come you love answering idiots questions so much?? 7730 posts |
|
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 7741 Registered: Dec-03 | if people would look the easy stuff up themselves, this forum would slow down enough that it'd be manageable. as it is now I skip 70% of the posts and only bother reading ones that pique my interest. the reason I answer so many posts is because nobody else seems capable most of the time. If someone answers a post roperly then I skip it |

Bronze Member Username: Msully701Stratford, Connecticut US Post Number: 63 Registered: Apr-05 | yellow tops are dough for a battery, 130-190 bucks they range from at autozone.com never planned on spending that much... should I look into getting one after I get a HO alt instead of getting one now so I dont burn it out with my system? |
|
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 7743 Registered: Dec-03 | well, its not that nobody else knows anything.. just not that many people answer some of the trickier questions.. either they aren't around much, or don't have the time, or whatever.. quite a few around here know a lot. there's just so many new threads here every day it gets hard to keep up. |
