I need a new batter and was thinking about getting the Optima yellow top but saw two different version online: D34/78 and D75/25.

The latter one has less CCA's and some other lesser specs which I'm not that worried about, but there seems to be slight difference in the size, too.

Which one should I choose? Seems like there is also about $30-$50 difference in price, but this time that is probably not going to be the deciding factor. I just want a really good battery, which I figure Optima is.

i used to work with them alot when i installed car systems,

it really all depends on what u want one, some stock alternators wont evan charge them fully (according to the interstate guy never tested it myself)

do u have a system if so what size amp and power wire? any mods that require large bursts of amps from the charging system?

The stereo system includes two Kenwood amps (800W + 640W) but I don't remember the sizr of the power wire. It's pretty big, though.

It's not really a matter of whether I'm going to get the yellow or red, but it's more a matter of which of the yellow models I should get

The series 75 fits just fine in my car. Probably will in yours, too. Why not just check the chart?
