    from the reviews the yellow seems to be far better than the red top

    Yellow Top - deep cycle!

    If you go with a yellow top....You shouldn't need two batteries.

    Buy one...and see how things go - depending on your Amp/usage or whatever. You might not need two batteries.

    Our jeep had a yellow top for years. It worked great and including a lot of winch usage. I left my lights on one time and the battery went dead...but we hooked it up to a charger and never missed a beat for a year after that when we sold the jeep.
