Battery for a 2001 C5

[JimC]

I am trying to source a side-terminal battery for a 2001 C5: any ideas ? UK replacements have both side and top terminals

Search Tayna Batteries website, they will have them.

This is the battery I fitted to my C5 over 10 years ago. No problems at all, it has top posts as well as the side posts but they have caps so not exposed. I always keep a battery tender hooked up if I'm not using the car for over 2 weeks.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, both of you

I found an exide battery at EuroCar parts. Bought Jan 2019, car used sparingly and it has not missed a beat. Part number is 444776020, cost £150 at the time.
