Attach it and forget it.

Zero issues with my batteries since.

The same tender works perfectly for motorcycles and cars.
Don't let the small size fool you.

I have the "Plus" now but I've had a Jr before. Answers the OP's question perfectly. I've used a Battery Tender on hot rods to classic muscle to new stuff. I lived about 10 miles from the Deltran plant in Florida. Built in the USA

hey, nice to meet you! I just happen to have a 2010 SS and a 2023 ZL1 too!
looking for tenderers
is the 12V 1.25 AMP one you sent link to enough, or do I need one that also charges?
Thanks,
rob

On my 23, i use the 10 amp Noco, which i like as its waterproof, I usually plug it in every two weeks for a charge as my poor vehicle is under cover in 3 feet of snow. Mine is also hardwired to the fuse jump points on the front of the vehicle.

Did this a few years ago and it’s great. No problems what so ever, plug it in and battery is always top up with power. Below link is the install info.

That's slick. Best part, you can troll on-lookers and tell them you ditched the V8 and converted to electric.

I use https://www.harborfreight.com/4amp-f...ner-63350.html for all my maintainers. If you catch them on sale, they're $30. You can find similar on Amazon for a bit less, but I don't know if I'd trust the guts. I use these on my RV dual deep cycles, my dirt toys, generators, cars/trucks. Just plug it in and go, it detects battery type and runs cycles on the battery so it doesn't just sit at top voltage for long periods. Not sure if it actually helps with sulfating but I got tired of short lived batteries that I used standard trickle chargers on.

I like this 5amp, but you could also just use the 1amp version. Haven't seen that socket extension part before, wonder what size hole you need for that. <found it, 2 inch hole>

CTek. Look at who they are OEM for, and you'll get one too.

That is very cool.

I have a 4th gen and it had a optima red top in it. I bought a battery tender + and the clamps on the battery tender + melted where they were connected. I contacted customer service and was told I needed to use the circular connectors. I unhooked my cars +&- because I was a bit concerned about the cars computer. Within a month the circular connectors had a bunch of white acidic buildup on them. I cleaned it off and it happened again. It was like the charger never shut off. Ruined my red top. I knew something wasn’t right when the chargers clamps melted.

Anyone know why Chevrolet doesn’t have battery chargers/tenders for the 2024 SS?

This is what I use, I've used it for the last two years. I'm still running my original battery. If you are truly using it for trickle and not to charge a dead battery, this is all you need. There's no reason to put more amps into it.
