    C4 Battery Insulator

    Looking over a parts catalog I noticed a "battery insulator" that appears to go around the battery. This was not in place when I puchased by 91. I'm curious as to the purpose of this insulator.

    My 85 bought used in 92 did not have the insulator for the battery and the battery was not the original. My 96 LT4 bought new still has the insulator.

      If you both email me at fulassoc@comcast.net, I will send you a photo of the Insulator that is on my 1995. I have problems putting photos on this site.

        Interesting. I'm 99% sure my original 96 LT4 battery did not have an insulator.

              Take a look at the test forum. One of the photos came thru.

                Have you had the car since new and, if not, was the original battery in the car when you got it? I believe that all 1992-96 Corvettes had the insulator. Whether they were used before 1992, I do not know at the moment. I can't research it right now since I'm 3,000 miles away from my references.

                I think the configuration of the insulator changed at least once over the 1992-96 period, though. If I recall, later ones had a cover flap; earlier ones had no cover.

                  My June 1984 (build date) Corvette had one. No cover (insulator) flap. I still have the insulator cover. Took it off when it was still new. Save the Wave.>George

                    Bought my 96 LT4 new off the showroom floor at Kerbeck's. The battery insulator only covers all sides and is a snug fit. I have reinstalled it on two batterys since 1996, latest switch was last year.

                      Joe I bought my car brand new, and it came with the original Delco Freedom 75B battery. I kept the battery for a couple of years, and then foolishly threw it out. But I was cognizant enough to keep the label, which can be seen in my second post in this link:

                      https://www.forums.ncrs.org/showthre...68313&uid=1248

                      I do not recall there being an insulator, and I feel quite certain if there would have been one I would have removed and saved it along with the label. I remember intending to remove everything I could, and the label was all there was.

                      Of course it is possible I'm mistaken, and that's why I put that I was 99% sure. But I don't believe I am mistaken.

                        According to my parts book, the battery insulator was shown for the 92-96 model. It was under section 2.333==3.B20. Went to those sections and it is part number 22611064 on page 3.G23. It was about 12.00. It did not show a cover flap, only a one piece unit that goes around the battery. I still have mine as the two previous owners kept everything that went with the Corvette. I have some amazing items.
