Red tops are generally starting batteries. The provide more power for a short period of time.

Yellow tops are like leisure batteries. They provide slightly less power but they give it for a longer period (days/weeks) of time. Ian

And don't forget on the D4 you will have to sort the second battery bay out to get the battery to fit..

That will be down to you Mick if I go ahead, should keep you out of trouble for a bit.

Hope all is well.
