Check this link and show me a car battery for Mercury Cougar that has better RC (Reserve Capacity) and More CCA (Cold Cranking amps) than the Optima Yellow Top http://www.batterymart.com/battery/D342F78-950.html

I looked into the DIEHARD that I was going to get and it had about half the CCA than the optima that I ended up getting.

I don't think that I am going to have a problem with using this battery.

I don't think you'll have a problem either at least in the short term. I was just letting you know the purposes of the yellow top. If you're alty is suspect in the least I think you'll have problems because just as long as it takes to discharge it takes long to recharge. I think you'd be better off going with a two battery set up. That's just my opinion. I know people that have run all their systems off yellow tops, but the only thing is I don't know them well. So I don't know if a year later their having to replace there battery. I do know that for what you say you're trying to do it would have been better to go with the red top. Again though don't let me discourage you I'm just trying to help you out in the planning stages that you're in.
