Don't know but the battery in my '06 Z06 died after only sitting two weeks without starting...and the car only has 630 miles on it! My japanese DDs can sit a month or more without starting and they fire up every time. Must be the Corvette's onboard electronics. Car is now hooked up to the Battery Tender.

Contact the gentleman below for a priority Start. He has 6 or so left. I paid 38$ shipped for mine. They are Marine units, But I em'd P/S and they stated it would work with top post batteries.

Too good a deal to pass up and for piece of mind
