BTW, ive got a diesel battery upfront but need something to go with the split charge system. Gonna be having about 1000RMS worth of power, about 110 amp current draw at its total maximum.

As you may know im running an Optima Yellow split charged. Its not too big for me. Ive had it two years now, no problems, total fuse rating of 170A at the moment and soon to be 280A when I add my old Alpine T1507 and T303 back in. This is ALL running off standard 55A Bosch Alt at the min, may upgrade to 70A when the other two amps go in.
Ive ran the optima down to 2V by accidentally leaving my DVD player on whilst I was away on holiday! I ran the car for a couple of days after, without the ICE on and its fine and back to its resting charge of 12.8V!! Cant knock it best bit of kit ive bought, even if it was £200 but for the abuse its took its been amazing...

This is only what i have seen in Total Car Audio mag. They seemed to like it A LOT.
They said it was better than the Yellow top. Cos it can be treadted harshly etc etc....

 the price should be something like.
£175
That is if the battery costs £200 and corb gets the usual 12.2% discount that halfords seem to like.
Or he can steal you one, and then another for me  eh corb, does that sound fair.
