Battery Tender

I use the one sold by NCM and it's been great. I plug mine in any time I know the Vette will sit for than a few days. It was a gift or I wouldn't have spent that much on one myself. Cheaper ones will work just fine, some of which are listed above.

I also use a Deltran Battery Tender, I have the positive lead connected to the positive terminal of the under hood fuse box, and the negative lead connected to the ground post towards the from of the car along side of the fender, I routed the cable to the grill and zip tied it to the grill so I can plug it in/disconnect it without ever needing to open the hood or route cables through the door,

I went with the CTEK 40-206 MXS 5.0
I also bought a comfort indicator cigarette plug and extension cable.
I will mount the unit in my garage by the center electrical outlet. I will use the extension cord, and plug the unit into the cigarette lighter.
When I go for a drive, I will just disconnect the cigarette lighter and stow the cord.
Thank you for all the recommendations.

I've been using battery tenders for decades. Deltran Battery Tender Plus and Jr are 2 that I've owned the longest and has been absolutely reliable for my motorcycles. The Plus is 1.5amp and the Jr is 0.75amp.
The one I use the most now is a Battery Minder. It can desulfate a battery with a patented pulse signal as it charges. It revived a dying battery from my F150 truck that the Battery Tender couldn't do.

Avoid commercial battery tenders, they will disappoint, die, smoke and waste your time. Any 5$ float charger will achieve the same results.
