My understanding is that Optima came in two types (in each color). One (darker case) was for starting (CCA) and the lighter gray was for runtime (AH)
I know we have run both colors (in deep cycle mode) for several years and had decent results. We started building battery boxes for our towers 4 years ago and haven’t replaced a battery yet, using only the Optima Deep cycle versions (and, yes they get used a lot in Florida) But, we had used Yellow and Blue tops deep cycle and I cant recall why ☺ Paul From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2015 10:30 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] optima battery preference for battery boxes Those are CCA batteries. You want AH batteries. I wouldn't spend my money on Optima...
