Optima Batteries?
A lot of people suggest the Optima Red Top battery, but the Optima web site lists no battery match for the C5 corvette.
Can anyone confirm exactly what I need.
From what I understand from piecing together multiple posts we need a...
Optima Red Top 800U model
I think the battery is a 34/78 type which means there are two adapters available (are these sold seperately?)
There is a height adaptor...
OPTIMA® GROUP 34/78
The optional red or yellow height adapters may be used for installations where a group 24 is required.Place the battery securely on top of the adapter until the clips snap into place.
And a puck adaptor...
OPTIMA® GROUP 34/78
The optional puck adapter is required for most GM installations where the side terminals are used.Position the puck against the center cylindar of the battery and bolt to the battery tray as shown.
Which ones are needed? One, the other, both?
Can anyone confirm or deny the model number and the need for adapters?
Damn, I didn't know buying a battery was so complicated.
Thanks
