Default Battery Location

Just took my 07Z out from 3 months of storage. The battery is dead! First car I've ever owned where the battery ran down so fast. Can anyone tell me where the battery is located and how to access it so I can charge it up. There is no info as to it's location in the owners manual. Also, is there any thing besides the windows and the stereo that will need to be reset? Thanks for your help.

I think you may have posted in the C5 Z06 section accidentally. Sorry I don't know the answer to your question.

The owner's manual doesn't tell you if the battery might possibly be mounted in the trunk?

The battery on the C6 Z is located in the passenger side rear in a compartment.

Your Owner's Manual, under the section JUMP STARTING (starts on page 364) shows you where the remote terminals are for charging/jumping the car. You don't need to access the battery to do this. In fact it is safer to use the remote terminals, rather than attaching directly to the battery.

As others have said, the battery on a C6 Z06 is located in the rear on the passenger side.

On any C5 or C6 - or for that matter almost any car equipped with features such as an alarm system and remote entry, the battery will be dead in far less than 3 months. Even though the Corvette turns off remote entry after a few days of sitting, the BCM continues to draw power to monitor the alarm system
