The C6 is a model of the popular Chevrolet Corvette. As with all cars, care must be taken when determining the correct battery to use. The 2005 Corvette requires a battery with the positive (+) terminal on the right or passenger side. The C6 Corvette model from 2006 to the current year requires a battery with the positive terminal on the left or driver's side. The current battery information should be used for cross-referencing a replacement.
Attach a memory saver device to the vehicle according to its manufacturer's instructions. Open the hood and locate the battery at the top, right portion of the engine compartment -- just behind the fuse box.
Pull the protective rubber boots from the cables. Loosen the negative battery cable with a battery wrench, then disconnect the cable from the battery. Remove the red positive battery cable.
Locate the battery hold-down wedge. It is it located at the base of the battery on the front side. Remove the bolt for the hold-down wedge, using a socket, ratchet and ratchet extension.
Remove the old battery from the engine bay. Install the new battery and install the hold-down wedge. Install the hold-down bolt and snug it.
Connect the positive battery cable first and the the negative battery cable. Pull the rubber safety covers over the terminals and close the hood. Remove the memory saver unit.
