2015 Corvette Battery Size
OPTIMA Batteries now offers a direct-fit replacement battery for the C7 Corvette, including those built in the 2015 model year. The OPTIMA H6/Group 48 YELLOWTOP is a direct-fit replacement for 2015 Corvettes, but it is obviously a significant departure from OPTIMA's iconic SPIRALCELL design. The reason for this new design is the space constraints created by the H6 (also known as Group 48) battery.
Newer vehicles are placing increasingly significant electrical demands on their electrical systems and automakers are responding in part, with significantly larger batteries. The OPTIMA H6 YELLOWTOP weighs in at a hefty 54 pounds, but with that comes 72 Ah of reserve capacity and 800 cold cranking amps. That's a significantly larger battery than what was used in previous generations of Corvettes and you'll have a hard time finding any Group 48 or H6 battery that can top those specifications, which isn't a surprise. Just like our SPIRALCELL batteries, the OPTIMA H6 YELLOWTOP features 99.99% pure virgin lead, as well as highly compressed radial grids and a direct-path, cast-on strap to deliver robust power.
If you find your Corvette is being used in more high-performance environments, like track days or other forms of racing, then you may want to upgrade to an OPTIMA QH6 ORANGETOP lithium battery. With 880 amps of cranking power and weighing in at just 21 pounds, the QH6 ORANGETOP is a powerful, lightweight upgrade. The QH6 ORANGETOP also has 45AH of capacity, so if you do have a charging system failure on track, you should have more than enough reserve capacity to get off the track safely, unlike some other lightweight lithium options.
The QH6 ORANGETOP also has OPTIMA's CPR system, which automatically disconnects your battery to prevent it from being completely discharged and hold enough power in reserve to get your engine started one more time and home safely. Vastly increased cycle life also comes with a five-year, free replacement warranty.
You can order the OPTIMA H6/Group 48 YELLOWTOP or QH6 ORANGETOP direct from the factory and if you order our D1200+ battery charger at the same, we'll add an additional year of free replacement warranty coverage to your OPTIMA battery. One of the best things you can do to maximize car battery performance and lifespan is to keep it properly-maintained and our D1200+ can do that for any 12-volt lead-acid battery or lithium battery!
