Yes you can. I run three yellow tops in my show truck ( I need them to power 16 12" pioneer premier subs) and there is a trick you wont find in the website. If it is just a little low, charge it like normal. If you left your lights on or for any other reason, and the battery is completely dead and you are having trouble getting it to charge, hook it up to the charger and turn it to boost. You want it to send as many amps as possible to the battery. You leave it on boost for 2 to 3 hours, and the battery should be rejuvenated. This info came directly from optima customer service when I killed my 3 batteries.
