Anyone here run mixed Optima batteries? By that I mean 2 different tops (Blue/Yellow).
When I bought my bronco the PO had installed 2 Blue top Optimas (he said because the blue tops matched the blue bronco. . They work, but I have a bit of a phantom power drain, and if she sits for a few days she won't start. My question is, can I run 1 blue top and 1 yellow or red top without some type of isolator? I like the my Dual Purpose Blue top for my winch and other accessories, but need the cold cranking amps of a red/yellow top.
Thoughts? Input? Thank you!!
