Which battery do you recommend?
I purchased my 03Z from another owner in 2011. The battery in it is an A/C Delco 78/7 rated at 800CCA and 110RC. The battery is DOA now and will not even take a charge. No electronics response from the FOB and Battery tender can not get a little charge even after 2 hours of "tending". No response from the lock unlock buttons either.
She is only driven for fun and has a whole 25K on the odometer. I know she is under driven and I should have had her on the tender during the week but........
So what battery do you guys suggest? I tried doing a search but to no avail.

I run an optima red top in my Z06. It has been in the car for 6 year now (could be longer) and going strong. This year I started using a Battery Minder trickle charger that has a desulphating feature. It seems to have help the battery because it now holds a charge longer than before.

A little more pricey but well worth it
