2025 c3 ('68-'73) of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I had a Duralast Gold in my '71 for just over 9 years. I would go 3,4 maybe 5 weeks between starts in the winter time and have to pump the pedal & crank it to get it started and that battery never let me down. 
When it was time to replace my '99's AC Delco battery for the third time I went with the Duralast and hope that I have the same luck. No problems with fittment.
These c5's seem to be rough on batteries. Everyone raves about the Optima's but you can't beat the Duralast for the $$.
The last thing you want is a dead battery in your C5.

Again thanks, Autozone is 2 minutes from my house, and I am hoping its just a 2 minute swap.

For 3 years they will start your car no matter where you are, or how the battery discharged--like maybe the lights left on. (Be sure to register.) It goes bad in the first 36 months they hand you a new one, then prorate for the remaining 5 years. If you're on the road there's an AutoZone in every town. Hard to beat a deal like that.
