I have one of those Japanese fitment yellow tops in my Jimny. They are a direct replacement and seem to work fine. For occasional winching they are good, if you wanted one for a challenge vehicle then the ORA would be better. Optima yellow tops are recommended for both winching and starting, red tops for starting only, they are not a deep cycle battery.

Well, deep cycle or not.
I know these guys have been testing this, since it is a common discussion among 4x4-enthusiasts, red or yellow top. And the red top was the better one for winching, simply because winching requires a relatively short burst of massive amps, which the red top is better at than the yellow top.
