Default Battery Tender

So I bought a 2016 Stingray today but it didn't have the battery tender that was supposed to be there. I have one that I used for my Camaro. Is it ok to use? Are they all the same as long as I have the cigarette lighter adapter?

The only thing uniquely "Corvette" about the Corvette battery tender is the logo. Yours is fine to use.

The one you have for your Camaro should work just fine.

Been using this for years
with cigarette plug adapter.

My GS came with a Corvette battery tender.
I'll sell you mine if you want it.

Thanks but I already have one. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing special with the Corvette one.

Did you look in the small storage area in the left rear corner of the cargo area? That is where mine was.

Yes I did and there is nothing in there. I bought it through a Ford dealer used and they had no idea where it might be. I have two others but just wanted to make sure all were compatible.

That one will be fine. Just plug it in and gently shut the trunk. It will not hurt the cord.
