I personally have had a UPG UB12180 for over 7 years now and it still cranks like a champ.
So if it ever dies I'll be getting a UB12220.

The green has more cold cranking amps but warranty is 1 year and the yellow is 2 years.

The green one will work fine . You have to bend the ends of the cable a bit but its not a problem. I just put one in my 85 a few days ago & have put them in numerous bikes that I have bought for resale.

The first one i bought from ampex had the tabs and when i told tom about it he sent me the yellow ($100) with the 2 year warranty and the tabs were for the motorcycle- I did bend my cables to fit on the first battery he sent and it did work but i am mainly looking at the difference in cold cranking amps, warranty and price.

My UB12180 (283 CCA - 18 Ah) was only warrantied for 1 year as well but like I said above it's been going strong for over 7 years now.

And Yes, the low price and 420 CCA and my experience with my current UPG battery are exactly why I'll be buying the UPG UB12220 if my UB12180 ever dies.
