Welcome to the forum and the community! I am sorry I can't really answer you question. All I could do is spout more hearsay and it wouldn't be positive. My daily was an auto Mustang since 2009. When I got the vette, I wanted a manual.

I'm sure after reading conflicting answers you will be confused also!
It doesn't take that much to confuse me anyway !

Welcome to the forum! Spring will be here soon enough, but in the meantime if you cannot drive the GS for long periods, one recommendation is to put the battery on a tender. Perhaps you got the GM one with the purchase? Anyway they are not expensive, and will save you aggravation in the future.

Hello,
Thanks for the heads up! I already purchased the US 3300 model 1051 . It did take some time to bring her to full charge ( any pros of cons on this unit? ) off of e- bay the day after I purchased my 'vette .
I already know about the importance of maintaining batteries. I have 3 motorcycles that aren't used all winter. I have 4 other battery tenders for my cycles,


basement battery back up sump pumps and tractors.
So some dealers include a charger when you buy the car?
Thank you!
Rich K ( Vette Ski )
Got it to work,will post the 'vette soon

Hello,'gain,
Just wanted to let you know you didn't scare me away,yet. I just changed my handle from ( Rich Ski ) to ( Vette Ski ). I found a way to post a photo of my cycles in my original post. I am not that computer literate so i took me some time.
I will take a shot of the 'vette in the garage and try to post it.
