Battery Type in 2016 Camaro
Did a search, didn't find anything.....
......is the battery in our cars a traditional lead acid battery, or is it something better like AGM or gel? |

Not sure, but considering all the emphasis on weight savings, I'd guess it's a AGM.

Better question..... Are these batteries going to cost $150+ like the last one I had to replace for a VW? WTF happened and why do batteries cost so much now?

I don't know what type it is, but it looks like it might be a pain in the butt to replace. The access hole is so small you can bearly get your hands in there.

V6 cars use an AGM, group 48 battery, ACDelco 48PG. V8 cars use a flooded (lead/acid) 94 series battery , ACDelco 94RPG (same as V8 Silverado/Sierra).

Great info, wonder what's the thinking at GM in putting a better battery type in the V6?
