battery tender
There are lots of them on the webb. many look like they use the same picture. they say for a C6. When you click on them , they fit , like 11-13, or 09 thru 11.
I need one for an 08. what is the differance? why would one of those work on an 08?
Thanks

If the battery render works on one C6 it will work on any C6.
There is nothing secret or magic about battery tenders. I use a $15 Black and Decker Battery Tender on all my classics and my C6 and it works great. Why pay the Corvette tax so you can have a Corvette sticker on your battery tender?

The one I have been using since 2009 without any issues. It works on my car from Nov-April (24-7) then daily from then on to keep my golf cart battery charged up. It is used 12 months a year by me for sure.

I bought this battery tender to use on a 15 Corvette that I sold in May. That battery was four years old and was almost dead. This tender brought it back to life. Now it's being used to keep a battery on a golf cart charged. I ordered another one to use on the 09 C6 I bought last week.

I bought a cheap one from Harbor freight to put on my sons motorcycle and it shorted out and got hot enough to melt the housing and wires around it. I would step up a notch just to be sure of the product.
