    High-demand electrical systems - from uprated audio installations to auxiliary lighting rigs and emergency vehicle equipment - place conventional flooded batteries under sustained discharge stress that leads to premature failure. The Optima YellowTop 8073-176 is a dual-purpose AGM battery engineered to deliver both reliable engine-starting performance and deep-cycle capability within a single unit, making it the correct specification choice where repeated discharge and recharge cycles are unavoidable. Optima's proprietary SPIRALCELL technology binds two pure lead plates into a tightly wound cylindrical cell, eliminating the plate separation and electrolyte stratification that degrade flat-plate AGM designs over time. The result is a spill-proof, vibration-resistant construction with a consistently low internal resistance, supporting strong cranking output and sustained power delivery across the discharge curve. The YTR2.7 operates at 12 volts with a rated capacity of 38Ah (C20) and a cold cranking amp rating of 460A (EN). Physical dimensions are 237mm (L) x- 129mm (W) x- 227mm (H including terminal). The battery uses a standard SAE post terminal arrangement (Terminal Type 1, Polarity Code 0, standard positive left) with a B00 hold-down configuration. Weight is 12.5 kg. No direct cross-references are listed; verify fitment against vehicle manufacturer specifications. The technology is compatible with start-stop systems - confirm suitability via the product label before fitment." No variants are currently available for this SKU. This battery is supplied with a 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. " .

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1- What is the voltage and capacity of the Optima YTR2.7 battery?
ANS- The Optima YTR2.7 (8073-176) is a 12-volt battery with a rated capacity of 38Ah measured at the C20 rate and a cold cranking amp (CCA) rating of 460A to the EN standard.

Q2- What makes this a dual-purpose battery rather than a standard starter battery?
ANS- The YellowTop designation indicates a battery designed for both engine starting and cyclic deep-discharge applications. Unlike a conventional starter battery, it is constructed to withstand repeated discharge and recharge cycles without significant capacity loss, making it suitable for vehicles with sustained auxiliary electrical loads.

Q3- What is SPIRALCELL technology and why does it matter?
ANS- SPIRALCELL technology is Optima's proprietary construction method in which two pure lead plates are wound into a tight cylindrical cell. This eliminates plate movement and electrolyte stratification, resulting in low internal resistance, consistent power output, resistance to vibration damage, and a longer service life compared with conventional flat-plate AGM designs.

Q4- What are the physical dimensions and weight of the YTR2.7?
ANS- The battery measures 237mm in length, 129mm in width, and 227mm in height including the terminal. It weighs 12.5 kg.

Q5- What terminal type and polarity does the Optima YTR2.7 use?
ANS- The YTR2.7 uses a standard SAE post terminal (Terminal Type 1) with Polarity Code 0, indicating standard positive-left orientation. The hold-down classification is B00. Always verify terminal position and polarity against your vehicle's battery tray layout before fitment.

Q6- Is the Optima YTR2.7 compatible with start-stop vehicles?
