Matthew, i have the yellow one as a my Aux battery and
a stock cheapo for my starter batt. Its been 2.5 years
and it powers my stereo, my amplifier and two 10"
woofas and a 35 watt flourescent RV light, inverter
etc... I like the battery becouse i can drain the heck
out of it while engine is off, no worrys, i just plug
in a 5 amp charger when its parked at home(someday ill
have one hard wired to my Optima aux under the sink)
The charger will be plugged in the fridge AC outlet.
My Alternator just took a crap so of course my starter
battery got too low to crank up the Tiico. I just
Jumped the starter battery with some cheap jumpers and
i was up and driving home.

An optima for a starter battery is a waste of $$ IMO.
I like my setup, thanks to SeanB's website for the
install info.
