So I kinda need to get a yellow top since I think that would help if I add an amp... The problem is, I couldnt find which size or type of optima yellow top would fit the celica, does anybody know off hand? Im just trying to find the best prices, thanks

I can check when I get home.. but they only had 1 when I went to autozone and got it.. I think the terminals where a little farther on the battery but it fit fine..

they don't have different sizes, they have adapters that you can use depending on your need, but they fit just fine on the Celica.

a yellow top will fit but it really isnt the greatest for a stereo, the are very very very over priced and do not have that great of an out put. i would look into kenetik, powermaster, odysee, or even an everstart maxx batt, also a basic marine batt would work and prob have more power and kick to it. If you have the money a yellow top would be fine but i say look around and you can find better for less that will fit in the stock spot

By not having that great of an output are you suggesting that there are cheaper batteries out there that put out more than 900 cold cranking amps? If so, please send me a link.

the 800 has an out put of 950 amps. and i bought a g31 with 1000cca's and 120amps at 20 hours for 170 so and an everstart maxx is 1000cca's and is 70$, the power master will be more expensive, however the odysee is from napa and is about 30$ cheaper than an optima and is a little better for audio use. like i said if you look around you can find better for the same price or less to do the same job

you are very right and they have a g31 version, however the ones from autozone and such are for the most part the same size, mb a slight diff but not to much

There's a difference between a starter battery and deep cycle batteries.
The Optimas are "hybrids", thus their price. The Everstart Maxx is a deep cycle only battery.

Thanks for the info guys, after browsing online I had seen diff sizes which was why i was asking... I might just stop into an autozone but I might check out some alternatives first, thanks for the suggestion steve
