Hi Charley,

What about Braille batteries? I run a 15lb. one, but I don't recommend that for a daily driver. Maybe the 21lb. one would work. That would be my choice.

Bought mine at Sam's Club. I don't remember the price but it was pretty good as I recall.

I have a Yellow top still in the OPTIMA shipping box if your interested. It fits my C5. Do you know what model you need? It's priced to sell.

Mine is a D34/78

Costco has the Kirkland battery for our C6's. You'll want "GROUP size 12."

I just bought my second one yesterday for $69.99. I replace them every 3 years so I get free replacement. Gotta take my old battery in this month so I get my credit...
