The Battery is in the frunk, I believe behind the panel near the firewall. The Battery saver package is more than a C-Tek 3300. The package includes a convenient female plug in (in the frunk) for the tender. I have it in my C7Z and it is very convenient. Worth the 100 bucks IMO.

Thank you capevettes. I was thinking that the female plug in the frunk was standard (without the protection package). If it is not standard, i believe you can plug a tender at the passenger side in the cockpit. Is someone know if the new electrical architecture need a different or specific tender? Is the GM one specific? Thank you.
What he meant was the CTEK tender itself has the male plug already hardwired. Pretty sure all the cars have that socket in the frunk, it's just most battery tenders come with two sets of connectors, terminal rings or alligator clips, you typically have to buy the male cigarette type connector separately.
Wrong, The female outlet in the frunk is standard.

It is simply plug and play. Just remember to take the orange plug protector off before plugging it in. It will fit, but won't charge

User Manual [PDF ] This is the owners manual for the CTEK 3300. The C8 version is a stripped down version of the 3300 (has only a single mode - the 14.4V 3.3A mode that is appropriate for the C8.

I have a C7. If you're talking about the same circular end-cap at the end of the power connector that should remain attached to the end of the connector. It twists off. Leave it on.

I left the orange/red adapter in place and it charges just fine. The manual that came with it doesnt address the adapter at all.
