Default (VIDEO) NEW Product The Most Revolutionary Method To Hook Up A Battery Tender

Just get in and drive away (see the video), can be adapted to any car!!!!!

* Stop running wires into, on top of and over your car to charge it.

* Never forget to unplug your charger and cause damage to your car.

* Even charge your car if it’s 100% dead and you have no access to the battery.

* Set it and forget it, charge your car every day.

For all Z06, also works for the C6, GS, Zr1 and C6 (complete plug n play kit $74.99 ($5 off for the forum) Battery tender not included. I guarantee the best investment you will make in keeping your car charged.

I refused to have a battery tender prior to this because I would not run wires over my car or through the window. I wanted a simple attach and drive away method so I would not have to worry about disconnecting it. No you can charge the car and not worry about someone else having to disconnect it to use the car.

I hooked the battery tender cables (one with eyelets) to the + on the fuse box and the ground on the frame. There is already an opening in there by the horn to run the wire so no cutting or modifications.

The connectors are a proprietary system that use a magnetic system to couple and only engage power once coupled. It's amazing since you can't hook it up incorrectly and once disconnected no power at the car side so no chance for a short (plus the tender cable is fuse protected anyway). It's also 100% water (can take pressure washing), dust proof and hooks to the standard battery tender connectors.

For now I have a simple mount that just slips on over the grill and can be removed anytime (most likely the spring/summer season). I just get in the car and drive away (see video). Other big plus is that if the car was dead and you did not have the tender hooked up, you could just pop it on and charge the car without getting in.

Pretty much the best engineerined and best solution for hooking up a tender. Once all wired up, connection is a "snap" and takes only a second.

No opening the hood, opening the window, running the wires under the door, worrying about your car cover, nothing! And those few times when you forget all about it - no problem - it just disconnects itself when your backing up (if mounted in the front of course).

This is a device that even works well for the rear mounted battery guys with the Grand Sports, Z06's and ZR1's or any vehicle with an interior mounted battery. Could even be used on a motorcycle.

Heck, I even have one on my John Deere Tractor!

Top Flight Reproductions: This is a very appealing connection. You show the charge port mounted in a vertical configuration. Because it hangs down from the bumper in that configuration, I think it detracts from the front-view appearance of the vehicle.

Can the charge port be mounted in a horizintal configuration? That is, flat against the upper portion of the bumper fascia? Or, would that cause shorting problems when the connector disengages from the charge port when backing up?

Yes you can mount it in the horizontal configuration

Ordered and payed for through Paypal on 4/4. I have seen no shipping details. Paypal transaction shows "unclaimed".

PM sent with details.

Also, I did not see the drop down box specifying CTEK which is what I have. Can you correct that before shipping?

Thanks

If you placed an order for one of these prior to 04/11/12 please contact us at topflightrepro@yahoo.com to confirm that we received your order. We had some issues with paypal checkout (our fault) so please contact us to verify.

* Stop running wires into, on top of and over your car to charge it.
