What year and model is your C5? You can see what the correct AC Delco replacement battery is by going here:

I tried entering your VIN, but for some reason, the site thinks it's invalid. Fortunately, you can select your vehicle information and go from there.

Fill out your profile with at least the year of your car and people can help quicker.
You left out a 1 in your VIN#
1G1 YY12S315106164
Looks like you can get 500CCA up to 700CCA.
My '04 battery had 590 CCA.
I replaced it with an ACDelco Professional grade 7 year battery which I think has 640 CCA. 50 month, free replacement warranty.

I believe I just put the same Delco in my '01...Delco Professional with the 7 yr warranty...I believe the part number is 75 Y 78 ...replaced the original AGM battery that was giving no worries but is not almost 8 years old...just a bit over the warranty...I have had excellent luck with Delco batteries since 1985...good luck...

I did exactly the same, but pulled my OEM battery at 7 years of age and as you did, installed a 7YR AC Delco Professional.

Don't forget to put an acid absorber mat under the battery for a little added insurance. Only cost 5 -6 dollars at most auto supply stores.
