    The red top is a cranking battery or just for starting. The Yellow top is a cranking/deep cycle battery which means it will take recharges better than a red top. The blue top is a marine deep cycle battery designed for trolling motors and so on. I'd go with a yellow top if your planning on having things like aux. lights that may be on when the engine is turned off. My plans are for two of these located where the rear seat used to be so they are out of sight and no battery is in the engine bay.

    i put a stowaway (marine boat) battery from academy in my XJ. 58 bucks and it works great. 1000 amps and 800 CCA. I had one in a boat of ours that was 7 years old and died, went in and they replaced it for free. LOL
