Default No start 2006 base corvette

i have a 2006 corvette that I'm having issues with, C6 won't start. I recently changed the starter about 6 months ago. It first started off stating the "charging system" should be checked but it only came on once in a while so I kind of ignored it. One day it wouldn't turn on.therefore, I took the battery to get it charged brought it back and still nothing. I didn't think it was the alternator since it still wouldnt start with a fully 100% charged battery. I honestly don't know what it could be. Loose cables? Bad relay?

How old is the battery, what was wrong with the starter, any other symptoms, dash lights, come on, headlights, etc, DIC information? Does the starter make any noise? Lots of posts on this issue and it is almost always the battery, battery or the battery. Then cables and or grounds. Do you keep a battery tender on it? If you don't have one buy a battery tender, should come standard on modern day cars, use one on all my cars now that sit for extended periods.
