Battery quick disconnect or tender
Hello,
i have a 2005 coupe. With ac delco battery.
I need some advice on putting a battery quick diconnect or a battery tender on the battery. Like most it sets for weeks before i drive it.
Is there computer, other issues with the quick disconnect?
Thanks,
larry

No issues at all.. I kept a battery tender on my 05 for its whole life until I sold it this year. Its probably the best thing you can do for a car/motorcyle thats not a daily driver. I now keep one on my 2011 GS and both motorcyles

06's. By 07 the issues were worked out by GM. I know when I bought my 07 M6 the salesman told me dont forget to put it into reverse when you park or you will have a dead battery the next day. Well I let it sit for weeks at a time and no Bat problems. i really dont think you need to be doing a Battery tender on a 2011 Corvette. Just my humble opinion but definately on a 05 & 06.

The dead battery syndrome was primarily an issue with the 05's and early

I use a battery tender connected to the accessory outlet in the center console. That way I notice it right away and have a chance to unplug it rather than dragging it through the garage like I did when I used a quick disconnect and forgot to unplug it. Old age is a bitch!

i used to leave my battery in and connected in my truck for 7+ months at a time when deployed in the military came back turned the key started right up everytime. had to put lil air in tires few times but thats it. a tender is not a bad idea but not completely needed.
