Does anyone know of a more powerful battery, cranking amps and all that for my C5, and would any that fit the C5 automatically fit any other UCE model?

I've replaced the stock C5 battery with an MB12U rated at 15AH from these guys http://www.motobatt.com/

It's almost same width and height (without supplied bottom spacer), and about 8mm narrower than standard which places the positive terminal nicely away from the throttle body. I used the stock terminals but it would be a bit neater to replace them.

My old battery was in reasonable shape. The new AGM battery really swings things over.

I like this one, free shipping, fit is good.  Much better than the original.
