The Cadillac Escalade has always been a step above the norm in terms of creature comforts. However, with all the added features and amenities found in the Cadillac comes additional demand on the Escalade's electrical system. That makes an DH6 OPTIMA YELLOWTOP a great upgrade option for the 2011 Cadillac Escalade. There's more than enough cranking power at 800 CCA, but what Escalade owners should really be comparing is battery weight.
Battery brands and companies can be aggressive or conservative when it comes to rating their batteries, whether the specification is Ah or CCA (OPTIMA tends to under-promise & over-deliver). The one specification that can't be fudged or exaggerated is the weight of the battery. More weight generally equals more power and reserve capacity, which can be critical for any vehicle with significant electrical accessories, like OnStar, video systems, big stereos, etc...
The OPTIMA DH6 YELLOWTOP is a direct fit for the Escalade, but weighs in at just over 54 pounds, which is significantly heavier than many other H6/Group 48 batteries. OPTIMA's AGM design and cast straps add more power and make for better current flow, which results in a better performing battery than flooded batteries or those with weaker, tombstone welds connecting the cells.
Fully charged OPTIMA's YELLOWTOP batteries will measure about 13.0-13.2 volts and the best way to maximize battery performance and lifespan is to keep your battery fully charged whenever possible. We're so confident this is true, we'll add an additional year of free replacement warranty coverage to your OPTIMA battery, if you buy it and one of our OPTIMA 1200 series chargers at the same time.
