    Looking for the best price for these battery's, I have an volvo 780 2007, does anyone know what size yellow top I would need to fit in the same as the ones I have now, do I need a upgraded bracket to lock them in place.

    any help would be appreciated.

    I know you are going to pay about 25% more for the TK name on it.

    I wouldn't go with the yellow tops. Their reserve capacity is 155 whereas most group 31 agm batteries are around 200. They're also pricey for what you get. For a good value battery, sams club has the duracell AGM which is a rebranded Deka Intimidator AGM and runs around $180. There's no better value on the market.

    If I remember right, don't by battery over 700 amp. The lead cells are to close together and causes the battery in question to die early, from the all the vibration.
