Of what vintage is your YellowTop Tom?

had read and heard that the more recent Optima's were of poorer
quality than those of old.

i too am in the middle of a battery decision.

Harry: FWIW, a starter type (flooded cell) battery can be sufficient
if the appliance draw isn't too high. And it fits easily. I may g/w
that type again. Installed one in my '81  image:

set of LED's, *short* use for Dometic while shopping en route. 1/2
hour max)

Thanks

Neil.
