Battery Tender
Happy Holidays fellow C6 owners. Quick question. I want to get a new battery tender today, but do not know which model to get. I am looking at the Jr. model because of its compact size. What is the difference between the jr model and the bigger model?

Thanks for your help. I bought the Battery Tender Plus today. I didn't realize it was that compact. I used the quick connecter, and hard wired it to the battery. I ran the cable through the side brake duct opening for quick hook up and disconnect. You dont even see it. Thanks a lot.

I drove the car all day today, and put the Tender on at about 4:00pm. The red light is still solid with no green at all. How long will it take until the green light starts at least flashing?
