I replaced my battery in my C7 , a 2015, last year. But it since has died again. I tried using the battery charger I bought with the car plugged into the socket in the trunk but to no avail. Anyone know if these chargers really work and any ideas why a relatively new battery would die so quickly? I was using it at least 3x a week but it did sit for about 2 weeks prior to this

Not sure about the C7's but I know the C6's batteries can go dead after a while, most of us with C6's keep a battery tender trickle charger hooked to ours when they are parked for a while, these just maintain the charge on the battery and won't charge a dead or near dead battery. Might I suggest you ask this question in the C7 General Forum, you might have better luck there getting a more specific answer concerning any battery issues the C7's may have.

I leave my 2014 for a couple of weeks at a time with no issues. Parasitic draws are time consuming to troubleshoot. A good meter, reference values, and lots of patience is required. If you don't have these, take it to a reputable shop.
