Optima Yellow Top 34/78

I headed to Costco to buy yellow top 35 and they only carried RT35 and YT34, so I went to another battery shop to see if they carried YT35 and they too only carried YT34. This place had higher price ($179) compared to Costco ($159), but I didn't felt like driving back to busy Costco so I just purchased it for $179 and try fitting it in. I was surprised that YT34 fits into stock tray without any modifications.

its little bigger with higher reserve capacity and cranking amp. but downside is its weight. its 43.5lb and that's 7lbs heavier than YT35. my tsx gained weight rather than losing them. haha

red top would be plenty for daily use, but i'm planning to do a UR pulley swap, so i opted for yellow top just to be safe.

Maybe it was due to low voltage level.
