Hey guys,
Thanks for your replies! I will definitely follow up with the aftermarket folks because it clearly sounds like going "stock" is a fool's errand. Thanks again. :thumbs:

I have a C3 and I am wondering about the same question. I doubt that GM put sealed batteries in any C3. Apparently you have a regular battery in your C6. My simple logic suggests that if GM...
