It's showing $181 for me.
I've purchased two of these from amazon (different vehicles) and have not had any issues. Maybe somebody is counterfeiting AC Delco battery decals now? I would think that would be too low volume to be worth the effort, but maybe.

Unlikely, I got the exact same unit from amazon in 2022 (although I paid a bit more), and it was new and unmolested.

My battery tester measured it at 765 CCA vs the nominal 760. Also, the unit looked OEM and brand spanking new, not even a tiny scratch or blemish. It's been in the car for 2.5 years, zero issues so far, cranks as if the engine was a Fisher-Price unit.

It's showing $181 for me too, but they were at $166 recently until they ran out of stock. Maybe they're bumping up the price right now, for spring.

This gave me a great laugh! Thanks for that!
Then I thought, "well, come to think of it, I think the ZL1 oil pump might ACTUALLY be from Fisher-Price."

How do you like the Anti-Gravity? I have the unit but have not installed it yet. Any detailed feedback?

It should start the car as well as an OEM, that and the reduced weight of the battery and your wallet should make the car lighter. That said I have Li-Ion batteries in my off road bikes, they do not like cold weather.

My 2018's original battery finally gave up the ghost 2 months ago.

I replaced it with this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B7WLLEY...fed_asin_title

I like it so far. Lots of stereo shops use these

The battery for the Camaro is required to have an external vent connection if it over pressurizes, I know it's sealed but it will vent under certain conditions and can cause corrosion/sulfuric acid fumes, the OEM or equivalent has a hose connection for this contingency.

Beware just received battery
It’s labeled as a GM part,but
Sticker on battery,says
“Made in CHINA!!”
That’s why it only cost $166!
