In the summer we often have thunder storms. Have lost 3 sprinkler controls, a TV HDMI connection and several LED lights etc! I wired my street rod from scratch! Would not like to do it BUT could rewire sections if needed. On the C8 would not want a dealer to be messing with wiring harnesses! Not a high probability BUT no need to risk. Disconnecting the battery for a few months or setting the low current draw that was used when the car was shipped from BG is a safe choice.
Wired my street rod from scratch! Made three 18" X 24" diagrams Lots of wires, relays, terminal strips. Would not like to replace a section BUT could do it. Could not and would not want a dealer to do it on my C8 either!

I can give you a reason I did not use my equivalent the GM CTEK charger on my C7 Corvettes I had for 7 years when on vacation for 3 weeks. Won't on my C8 either. Actually for 3 weeks no need. BUT leave my street rod with it's charger 24/7 unless going to a Car Show!

Pay Duke Power for their "line protection" at the meter but it only covers major appliances. Hard to protect sprinkler controls. In fact I have a surge protector on that plug but with lines all over the ground to power zone valves not easy. In fact I have another control "ready!" It's being discontinued so got it for a good price!
