Q 2. What is the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating of the YTU4.2?

Q 3. What terminal configuration does the YTU4.2 use?

Q 4. Is the Optima YTU4.2 compatible with start-stop vehicles?

A. The AGM technology used in the YTU4.2 supports start-stop system requirements. However, compatibility must be verified against the product label and your vehicle manufacturer's specifications before fitment, as application suitability can vary.

Q 5. What is the difference between the Optima Yellow Top and a standard starter battery?

Unlike a conventional flooded starter battery, it can withstand repeated discharge and recharge cycles without significant capacity loss, making it suitable for vehicles with high auxiliary electrical loads.

Q 6. What technology does the Optima Yellow Top use and what are its advantages?

A. The YTU4.2 uses Optima's SpiralCell AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) construction, in which tightly wound lead plates are separated by glass mat that retains the electrolyte. This delivers vibration resistance, low self-discharge, spill-proof operation and improved cycle life compared to conventional lead-acid batteries.

A. The YTU4.2 requires a B00 hold-down fitment. Confirm that your battery tray and securing hardware are compatible with this hold-down type prior to installation.
