Just went to the garage to look at the OEM Delco in my 2006: 590 CCA. It also says the correct replacement battery is a 6-year model.
There was a thread recently documenting that the shorter warranty Delco batteries (like 60 months) are made in China and unreliable, while the longer warranty Delco batteries are made in the U.S. and still OK.
Off your topic, a vert in Florida is neat, right? Just set the A/C to max and go cruising with the top down. Better in the evening than in the middle of the day . . .

Dealer replaced my dead Delco after 9 months and it has been fine for 2 years and 16000 miles. I had the dealer check it recently and he said it was just fine. Go Figure
