TPMS light flashes then solid - Dealer suggests new car battery

I thought Yellow tops were the better battery but I could be wrong.

The difference between the two is the Red top provides a better cranking charge and longer storage. The Yellow top provides a higher level of power constantly, hence why it's better for mobile audio/video.

It's not that one's 'better' than the other, it's just one is specified for one application, and the other for a different one.

If you're somewhere in a colder climate and store your Z for the winter, and don't care about stereo's, the Red top would be better for you.

If you're anywhere else, and or have a large aftermarket stereo installed, the Yellow top will be for you.
