Any new thoughts on keeping the battery charged over the winter?
I can press one of my old Battery Tenders into duty or pick up one of the CTEK 3300s pretty easily.

This is what I have. There are terminals in the engine compartment that I hooked into. Worked like a charm. He fired right up after a long winter’s nap.

I went with the Noco to over the Ctek. Charges more types of batteries.

I always keep my camaro plugged in to a tender.
But there are risks. Several years ago we had a near lightening strike. Surge came thru the house, and thru the tender plugged into my C6 corvette. Did like $3300 damage to the car as it blew up the BCM, and two ABS sensors. Completely smoked the battery tender, I mean charred burnt carnage! So now if I even think there is chance of t-storm...I unplug the cars.

I have connected directly to battery, just made a small hole in the cover to feed the end through, can pull out like a foot of cord when needed and tuck in out of the way when not being used

As someone pointed out earlier, CTEK makes the chargers that GM sells for the Camaro, so I tried to get one that appeared to be as close to that as I could. Not sure how well I did on that part, but here we are in 2021 now and my original battery is still going strong. The car sits in a 40° garage all winter, plugged into the CTEK. BTW, the CTEK comes with a nice pigtail with (what do you call them?) the round hole ends so you can bolt the pigtail to the battery securely. On the other end of the pigtail is a nice connector that only goes on one way, to attach to the lead from the charger body. I find that the rubber gasket around the trunk opening is forgiving enough that I can close the trunk lid over the charger lead for the winter. I have the pigtail coming out the edge of the little carpet door near the battery. When not needed, I just stuff the pigtail back in there. Plenty of room.
