When I replaced the battery in my car, I went with an AC Delco 42 month one that the dealer had in stock. Part number was 88865245, 48PG battery. Total including installation was $165.40.

If you replace it yourself put a large zip tie around the new one if no handle for ease of removal and check for a plug on one vent and elbow on the other to attach a small vent hose to.

Both below are great replacements depending on which you can find. Your GM dealer or Delco distributor will most likely have one or the other. Either should last you 6-7+ years.
