Optima battery
Hi guys,
I know that it may have been bandied around before but I couldn't find a definite article. I would like a high output Optima battery for my CRD (plan to install a winch) with around 700 CCA. Could anyone confirm what type of Optima battery would be the best one? Is it the Yellow top?
Thanks in advance,
Paul...

We ran Optima Blue top marine in our 03 CRD KJ with a winch and it was great.

I have a petrol and went with the blue top purely for the extra terminals which I hooked the winch to. Haven't had any problems with it. Check out the seller 4wd extreme on eBay. They were the cheapest I found.

Sorry - bit too generalised
Guys - sorry I should have been more specific. I guess I wanted to know if Optima was the best battery for a CRD with a winch. This as well as if you need an adaptor to fit it in the battery plate. Just seemed to be the best value around.
Regards - Smokey.
