Yes I've searched but am just looking for final confirmation on running a blue top in my truck without any probs.
Thanks guys

 

i had a blue top in my 4runner and it ran fine...now its in my pickup and ive had no problems

 

you will NOT have any problems. FACT.

Ive been running 2 SVR-80s (equivalent to a blue top) now for 2 years. They are ultra deep cycles too. Never had an issue and was easily able to jump start diesels...the 190amp alt helped too...lol

 

K sweet thanks guys was just lookin for a definitive yes before I dropped the money on it.

 

here's another one just to boost your confidence even further...

i've got one, no problems at all. go blue top.

 

hey silvertruck, i'm in the same boat; thinking about a red-top or a bllue-top for my 2nd gen...

is the D34 the right (blue-top) one for our rigs?

 

bumpity

 

sand crawler- yep the d34 is the right one...you could get a 31 and do a little bit of sheet metal modding and get it to fit.

 

I gotta ask, whats the reason for getting a blue top when the red top is most commonly used? I'm guessing the blue top is better for running multiple accessories...

 

thanks for the confirmation silver_truck!

i'm thinking that i'm going to go with that bluetop d34... the CCA ratings aren't all that far off from the redtop and it will be an asset to have the deep-cycle capability when camping and as the mod-madness continues; lights, etc...

thanks again. cheers

 

rocket; my understanding is that the redtop is starting only, while the bluetop is available in a dual-purpose, starting and deep-cycle option.

yup, the deep-cycle lets you run accessories and such longer without draining it down

 

and the $ difference between the two is only $20 or so, from what i've found...

 

I'm not quite sure why to get a blue over a yellow as they're both deep cycle, thought he blue is available in a starting version too...but I'm going with a blue simply because I found a great deal on one

 

thanks sandcrawler

Where?

 

Local auto wrecker is also an Optima distributor...$130 for a new d34 blue top

 

I got (3) D34/78 yellar tops and they all work great...now...I had one that was reversed in polarity when I got it...weird...but now up and running fine...lots of places sell them...like SEARS.

 

sounds like a good deal!

 

yup, sears is where i'm getting mine.

 

wow waskilly.., i just noticed ... 3?

what are you running to need all that juice?!

 

Flux capactitor I have compressor back there and all sorts of things to come, lights, lights and more lights, power inverter and I don't want to be w/o if I go primitive camping too.
