Have been surprisingly happy with batteries from Walmart. Have been using them in my cars and boat for years with no problems.

Duralast batteries from AutoZone work very well out here in Arizona where the heat is very tough on them.

Tony - Welcome to the Corvette Forum. All those suggestions will work fine for you. I've typically bought from Walmart but the last one, a series 34 instead of a series 24, which is about an inch shorter, I bought form NAPA.

Costco is a great place for batteries but recently their prices have gone up at about $100. They used to take the old battery back before the end of the warranty period an unlimited number of times but they have changed the rules. They only give you a new one once instead of unlimited returns like I have been doing for MANY years for all my cars. In effect, it was lifetime batteries for all my vehicles. They finally got smart. You can still take them back once and double the length of the warranty period.
