Need a new battery for the Vette

[BLUETHUNDER]

Well. It looks like the cold weather and age has taken its toll on the battery. Due to the oddness of it. Wheres the best place to get a battery. And what is one going to set me back. Thanks in advance

i have mine from Tayna but this one is 10gbp cheaper. It`s gel one so will not leak and possibly cause damage to Your ecu and loom.

Had mine for over a year now, no problems, car was stationary since late oct and started without problems.

Replying to both your posts.Do they have the correct terminals for the Vette??

If you're anywhere near Ian Goss that's where I got my last one about a year ago. He had a Delco ready and waiting in stock. [It's "75" as opposed to the larger "78" battery which is standard but it's got the correct side terminals so fits straight in. Max' convenience £140 fitted for CCCUK member.]

My last Delco lasted 7 years so I'm not complaining.....

Mark it has both Standard pins and front corvette connectors, You`ll get set of plastick covers to cover unused pins in that case

When I needed a new battery for the C5 I had a couple of years ago I got one from John Woolfe racing in Bedford.They had a choice of two and I think I paid less than a hundred quid.It was a couple of years ago though.
