Title: which battery is best
Post by: 4x4spud on November 29, 2007, 19:43:33

i am trying to fit an anderson plug fitted lead to my landy for ease of use for jump starting other motors

i have a split charge system fitted running a red optima as a main cranking battery and a yellow as an accessory battery

which battery would the anderson lead be best fitted to and would it be a good idea to fit a circuit breaker at the same time (the red key time} thanks

I would say tour Red one, I have a very similar set up and I have had no problems so far. But my guess is only based on this, I am no electrician. 8)

id go for the red top
after all the red top was designed for this application  :wink:
now, i am only assuming here but i would think  your alternator is charging that battery ? and the yellow is running through a split charger ?
if so then id be using the red top  8)
