Hello everyone,

When going through the online configurator, there is actually two different options for battery protection. One is $100 and the other is $120 -- can anyone point out the differences? The descriptions are very similar.

Thanks!

I had similar questions. I ordered the $100 option, RPO code ERI, which came in a box with the car. It is an attractive wall-mounted battery tender with a plug to go into a 110 volt AC wall outlet, and a long cord with a plug on the end which will be inserted into the auxiliary power outlet in the rear of the car. On my Vert it is in the right rear of the trunk. The wall mounted piece has a nice C7 Logo on it.

I was never able to find out what the other was, but I could not find an RPO code for it and IIRC it shows up as an LPO or dealer installed option on the Build Your Own site? It has been a while since I was spending so much time working on my build, I can't remember how it was presented.

Edit: I just went back and looked on the Build Your Own website and re-built my car. The two Battery protection options are pretty much identical. If you look at each one, there is a hyperlink to more information. If you read the descriptions of each, they are describing the same thing, so I would go with the $100 option.

One is an option, which is added at the factory. It is $100. I've gotten that on both our C7s. The other is on the accessories tab of the build page. That means it is not installed (or in the case of the charger, put in the trunk or back end) but shipped from a GM Accessory Parts warehouse to your dealer. GM charges $120 for that.

If you look at the accessories tab, you will see several items that can be ordered, which are also factory options. Carbon Flash emblems are one example, although in this case, you will end up with the removed chrome emblems, as well as the dealer installed carbon flash ones. They are almost always more expensive as accessories, than when ordered as a factory option or from one of our GM parts vendors after the fact.

I own several premium sport cars.

My suggestion....

DO NOT ORDER either one from the GM order site.

They are CTEK brands but over priced from GM.

Plain and simple....BUY THIS.....



This is an 8 step charger that will desulphate the battery, and go thru a series of steps to keep the battery fully charged.

Also connect directly to the battery 10mm terminal posts on the battery in the trunk. You won't have any electrical problems.

I use the exact same charger as I suggested on my 2015 Corvette C7.

Here's a link to review the charger I suggest. The GM chargers will NOT complete the same steps.

You will also need the comfort extension cord.



Be sure to read the reviews on these links provided.


You will NOT be sorry that you ordered this CTEK MUS 4.3 smartcharger.

Does the battery tender that came with the c6 work on the c7?

Yes, of course your emblem is now wrong!
