anyone running Yellow top Battery?

[v896]

Hi all just wanted to ask if anyone is running a yellow top battery instead of the standard one?

The reason I ask is that I want to run one not for a sub or any sound or entertainment systems. Its for the locks i've had my car de barrelled as some prick keeps trying to open my car with a screw driver and it buggered up my barrels i got them removed but was advised by the mechanic that in cold weather if i needed to replace the battery i'd be screwed if i couldn't open the car bonnet if there as no barrels and if the locks froze in the cold weather.

I have been doing my research so i've got a volt meter installed and yellow top battery works up to -30 providing 12-14 volts on cold weather which make the electrics work in extreme. would anyone know what size i'd need 3.7 or 4.2?

Wouldnt you be able to get in through the boot? Isnt there a lock on the boot?

nope that was buggered too cost £80 for one barrel to be replaced plus labour so i just paid to have them both removed i can only open my boot with my boot button on my key. Which is rather annoying but i admit its quite safe

looking back it was a stupid move but if i buy a yellow top it's an investment as i can use it in future cars.
