I have used a yellow top in the past as a primary and only battery with no issues. It lasted a long time and I never had battery issues after I installed it. That was the "fix" to the problem I had in my Cavalier.
it was just a thought that maybe the yellow top isnt as well suited for fast high current draws (like a quick demo) and is more suited to handle a steady pull from dealing with whatever the main battery cant handle.

The yellow is more capable of high current draws (but it's just as "fast" as any battery...).
The yellow may not last as long as normal batteries.
But the battery is not your problem, the alternator is - else the wiring (ie, BIG-3).

I will say that this is the 3rd yellow top battery that i have used so far.  The previous 2 failed under their warranty period and now im on my 3rd.  As of now, i've tried everything else but the HO alternator which i will wait on for a little bit.  Thanks for all the advice guys.

Why does that not surprise me?
At least yours are being replaced under warranty. Locals I know of don't seem to be as lucky.

I'm on my third red top in my car.  They seem to last a year a piece.  Once they quit warrantying the battery I am switching brands!

i had a red top in my ranger for about 4 years until it dies and i replaced it with a stinger yellow series and that's been going strong for about 3 years now.

I get 8 years from my "normal" wet cells.
So does my Mum.
And they are under 1/3rd the price of yellows.
I'd hate to pay the typical 20x for yellows for the same coverage.
