I've been looking at getting an Optima yellow top Battery for the 2016. What model number should i be getting? I checked their site and no info is available for 15 and up..

TIA

I had D34 yellow top in my 2013 F150.

honestly, i've had good and bad luck with optima's. I think that the time it spends on the shelf prior to install is the biggest indicator of longevity (same can be said for most batteries but i think the optima are even more finicky).
having said that, I installed a redtop (R34) in my Nissan Titan in 2008 and it was still going strong when I sold it in October 2016. In 2009, I installed a redtop (R34) in my wifes sequoia, it lasted 3.5 years. When it came time to replace the optima in the sequoia, i went with a Autozone Duralast Gold (Interstate made). It has a 3 year free replacement.

What battery are you replacing? You are aware the OEM 760 & 800 amp batteries are AGM batteries and are very good.
