i have the optima yellow top, but cant speak from personal experience as it isnt fitted yet. They are pretty much the best battery you can get though, but make sure you have upgraded the altenator too, to get the most use out of it.

The battery in the boot is charged via split charge relay and a length of power cable running from the engine bay to the battery in the boot.

Not speaking from experience with them, but I believe there are better out there for similar money. The yellow top isnt a dedicated ICE battery is it? Are'nt they designed for water-going vehicles?
