OPTIMA YellowTop YT S 2.1 AGM lead-acid battery 6V 38Ah
Description
Product information
The OPTIMA YellowTop YT S 2.1 is a revolutionary 6-volt high-performance AGM battery that, thanks to the patented SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY®, combines the starting power of a starter battery with the cycle durability of a supply battery. With a nominal voltage of 6 V and a capacity of 38 Ah, it is the ultimate solution for classic vehicles and special applications that have been retrofitted with modern, high-current consumers. Its extreme vibration resistance and absolutely maintenance-free, leak-proof design make it the first choice for the most demanding 6-volt applications.
Highlights at a glance
- 6-volt dual-purpose functionality: Offers starting power and cycle durability for classic vehicles with high energy requirements.
- SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY®: Unique spiral cell design for extreme vibration resistance and longer service life.
- High cycle durability: Ideal for vintage cars with modern hi-fi systems or additional lighting.
- Absolutely maintenance-free and leak-proof: The sealed AGM design allows installation in almost any position and protects valuable original materials.
- Fast recharge: Absorbs charge considerably more quickly than conventional 6-volt batteries.
Maximum performance for classic vehicles with modern requirements
The OPTIMA YellowTop YT S 2.1 was purpose-built for the special requirements of 6-volt vehicles that need more than just starting current. It is the ideal choice for vintage cars, hot rods, and tractors equipped with powerful stereo systems, navigation systems, electric fans or other modern consumers. It reliably provides the high current to start the engine and then powers the additional equipment when stationary without losing performance.
Superior SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY®
At the heart of every OPTIMA battery is the unique SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY®. Instead of flat lead plates, high-purity lead spirals are used which are wrapped with a glass fibre fleece (AGM). This compact and extremely robust design minimises internal resistance, resulting in superior starting power, faster charging and unmatched vibration resistance. This technology makes the YellowTop the perfect hybrid solution for demanding 6-volt systems.
Built for the most demanding conditions
The OPTIMA YellowTop is designed for tough use. Its sealed construction not only prevents acid leakage—which is especially important in valuable vintage cars to avoid damage to paint and bodywork—but also evaporation. This makes it absolutely maintenance-free. The up to 15 times higher vibration resistance compared to conventional batteries ensures that vibrations in older vehicles do not harm the battery.

FAQs on the OPTIMA YellowTop 6V battery
What is the main advantage of SPIRALCELL TECHNOLOGY® in a classic car?
In classic vehicles, spiral cell technology offers two decisive advantages: Firstly, extreme vibration resistance, which is very useful in older chassis. Secondly, it is completely leak-proof, which protects valuable paint and bodywork from acid damage—a common problem with old wet batteries.
What is the difference between the 6V YellowTop and the 6V RedTop?
YellowTop (6V): A dual-purpose battery (starting and supply). It is ideal for 6-volt vehicles with additional electrical consumers such as a powerful music system, as it can handle deep discharges. RedTop (6V): A pure high-performance starter battery. It is the right choice if starting is the main load and no significant consumers are operated when stationary.
Do I need a special charger for this 6V AGM battery?
Yes, it is very important to use a modern, microprocessor-controlled charger that is suitable for both 6 volt and AGM technology. Old, unregulated 6-volt chargers can damage the battery through overvoltage.
How should this lead-acid battery be disposed of?
Lead-acid batteries contain environmentally harmful substances and must not be disposed of with household waste. You can return your old battery free of charge to any dealer who sells new batteries or to municipal recycling centres to ensure proper disposal.
