Yep, that info is from the 4 volume service manual. But battery life does vary. Temperature is a factor and keeping it on a charger is a help, but like people, each has it's own life!
Unlike some older Vettes the C7 does shut most power items off, even if you leave lights on etc. I seldom used my battery charger and went on vacation several times for 2 1/2 weeks. Some have said their battery started the car after 30 days.

After having a documented C6 DBS car (05 Manual) I'm a bit paranoid any time the car sits for more than 3-4 days the tender goes on. Cheap car start insurance!
Its now off the road in the garage till the winter is over. Its a pleasure to see the two gree light saying all is well.
Course if you get lucky you see one of the greens off for about 45 seconds every now and then( that showing the tender just brought the charge up because of parasitic losses!)
