Battery Help!!!
I have a 2001 and am wondering if I have the Gel battery it is a Delco CCA 500 75 P-7yr 2277. I bought the car in Apr and am a little concerned as I am getting ready to store it. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.... Thanks in advance

I have a 2001, my battery quit last month. If you have the original one? I'd change it if I were you.
to save all my settings, I clipped another battery on to the alternator battery post, and the alternator itself, changed the battery, and all is good.

The Optima Red Top and Yellow Top batteries and the Exide Select Orbital series of batteries you often read about here are also AGM batteries and not gel cell batteries. People often use the terms "gel cell" and "AGM" interchangeably; however, there is a difference:
"All you ever wanted to know about AGM and Gel Cell batteries"
