Default Best battery?
From your experience, what is the best replacement battery for an '05, C6 Mn6 speed? (the '06 appears to be different). Thanks.

When I replace mine, I will go with an Optima...check those out, I am they have all different sizes and I am sure several that will fit in the C6.

I checked the Optima on their home page and they don't list one for a C6. I am sure another one will fit.

Interstate Batteries if you go with the conventional type car battery.

Model 34/78 Fits.




There is another smaller one (75/25), but it has less cranking power.
