Well I just got a spare moment. The answer you have been weighting for(small pun intended) :lol: is Red tops weigh 39 pounds and yellow tops weigh 43 pounds. In case you didn't know, the yellow tops are more of a deep cycle battery. We use them for cars and trucks with killer stereos (to help the amps work at high volume settings or Trucks with alot of Driving lights and fog lights and electronic gear.
