4 Battery Tender Plus chargers here. They are all hardwired to the batteries and each has a 25' entension which I run under the car so I can keep the covers on. One actually runs out my garage door to my winter beater which sits on the charger most of the summer.

I have a battery tender on my '07 coupe.
I have a CTEK on my '04 Z.
I have a battery tender jr. on a motorcycle.
All work equally well.

I purchased mine from a Forum vendor on sale.

Battery Tender Plus - I have 6 of them working at this time. They work great and will save your battery over a trickle charger. Should cost about $50-$60.

where did you get the coupon? the price sounds right to me if they work well

BTW, thanks to all for the advice and good ideas!

I purchased a CTEK 3300 about a year ago, and have used it exclusively on my C6 and STS.

It works great for vehicles that sleep for the winter - I have been rotating the CTEK from C6 to STS.

Last year I used it on my STS's 4 month winter sleep. It fired up like a trooper on that wonderful March day

Others may work as well - but the CTEK is my choice.

I have been using the same Battery Tender Plus for 7 years with no problems. Initially used it to maintain my jetski battery and now use the same one to maintain my corvette battery. It is a very good battery charger/maintainer.
