Default New Style Battery

I was just noticing that the battery on my '04 Z06 is the new style that is used on all '05 models. My question is, did all '04 Corvettes get the new battery with the top post connections or did Chevy make the switch during the '04 production run??
thanks.

It came with top posts. HTH

My build date was 6-9-04 and I also have the top posts battery.
I just don't remember this being included in the list of '04 C5 improvements.
