Default Assistance with Battery

I need to change out my battery this weekend. Does the side, vent panel of the C4 have to be removed to replace the battery?

Also, does anyone have any suggestions for a battery that has performed well for you.

Thanks

Yes, on my 94 Corvette it has to be removed. Two bolts hold it in position. Top bolt remove, bottom bolt loosen one full turn. Then pull vent towards you.
Bought 84 month battery at Advance Auto for $79.99.

Thanks! I was thinking at first that the bolts in the wheel well area had to be removed.

Mine is also a 94 that I purchased 2 years ago. I try to keep the milage down, keep it in the garage and drive it about 3 times a month. The last two times I have driven it, I had to jump it off. I'm probably dealing with a battery cell that's just about to die.

Thanks again

I absolutely swear by Sears Diehards-I use 4 in my yatch-and believe me, you don't want to have batteries go bad on a boat.
