I got the battery protection package when I got my C7. Unfortunately the tender didn't work when i went to plug it in the second year. I got the CTEK one off Amazon and haven't had any issues since. I think it was the CTEK MUS 4.3 and I added the comfort plug cig adapter as well.

Forget a trickle charger and drive the car often, not just once in awhile.
Eating massive depreciation while "saving it for the next guy" is inane.
DRIVE IT daily and have fun, no trickle charger required!
Don't wax -- drive, drive, drive -- burn gas!

I use this Ctek on my C7 and will be using it on my C8, probably the same company that GM uses
you need to buy the adapter for $9

This is the model I would recommend as it’s 4.3 Amps: https://smartercharger.com/collectio...s/ctek-mxs-5-0
Available for less on Amazon -

2015 C7 of the Year Finalist
That’s the 0.8 Amp model, mainly for small batteries like motorcycle batteries or lawn mower batteries. Up through the C7, the Corvette Battery Protection Package included a 3.3 Amp charger (not sure of the specs for the C8 version). CTEK has since upgraded most of their models to 4.3 Amps.
