Hi everyone. I'm new to the jeeping world and I'm learning so no harsh comments please but I have always heard yellow tops are good for having aftermarket lights. Is this not true? I have one on my truck and it has always done good for me. I have recently put a 52" light bar on my jk and was going to upgrade the battery to the same battery. I would like your feed back please

I've read some reports that the Sears platinum is no longer an odyssey and is now made by northstar. Food for thought.

Yellow tops are not what they once were (which is why you see them in big box stores like Sam's Club).

Don't know about the platinum being discontinued but would look at the new comparable in their line. Love the fact they have front terminals also.

Additionally got a sweet deal opening a commercial account (free). Just tell them the name of your household and your Jeep as a food delivery vehicle. Price drop of $75. Not a bad deal

Pic just invade you can do some more searching and find one.

You told Sears that and they dropped the price 75?

Yup. I asked about discounts and one of them Is for commercial accounts. Told them we have a food delivery company and the Jeep is our delivery truck. It delivers food from the store to the house on a regular basis.

Honestly I would. My dad has gone through about 6 of those batteries within a few years. They were from Costco and they warrantied them but it's a hassle.

I'm with sharkey on this one, I had one way back in high school and it was amazing, I put one in my JK and I have been less than impressed. They aren't what they used to be. I think Eddie told me they are now made in Mexico so the quality has gone way way way down

Maybe I will try the new diehard advanced or whatever it is. Deka battery is a huge account of ours at work and they sell 2nds (cosmetic more than anything) and wonder if they have any that are good.
