Default battery tender
I have a brand new c7 battery tender....never used one before and I want to try it on my C6. One end obviously plugs into the wall and the other end looks like it would go into the cigarette lighter. Is this right?

Is this for a C7? Just curious as to why you aren't asking this in C7 Forum if it is.

The lighter socket connector is pretty universal as is a typical battery tender.

The good ones will let you know if it's hooked up wrong, but your application is, for the most part, foolproof.

And all day and all night and all day and... The idea is, you plug it in. Next time you want to go somewhere you unplug it. When you get back you plug it in. A tender (not a charger) is designed for 24/7/365 use.

last winter, I put mine on in December, and it was on until early April. No problems, and it fired right up after 4 months.
