All this time the radio, lights and everything else worked fine.

Anyway I hope its the battery. I want to go to a dual set up anyway since I have the warn multi mount winch, 12 accessory lights ( I use them very often almost daily), trailer brakes, etc.

I love optimas but according to many sources, they don't have one with the required 880 CCA's??WTF? I saw the yellow top with 900 CCA's but it dosent show as being the right battery for the H2??? And its a deep cycle rather than starting battery.

Should I do this battery X2 or do one red starting battery and one yellow deep cycle battery w/ an isolator? Or use a totally different set up?

TIA.

I have been thinking about running that new 900cc yellow top from optima. The only issue that I have seen is that the posts on the optima are both top post (one is SAE and the other is threaded). I might just change my cables so that I can use it. I have a winch, lights, and a big stereo so I want the deep cycle.
