redtop is a starting battery, yellowtop is deep cycle and bluetop is marine IIRC.
I've run my redtop flat dead with my dome light twice, and a few more times low enough for my radio to cut out. Seems not to have affected it at all, but I've heard otherwise from others. It seems that generally if they get cranky after being run dead they can be rejuvinated to full capacity by trickle charging. One of the 4 wheel mags had an article on that in the last year (since that's *so* helpful to you, I know).
