Default 2022 C08 Convertible, Z51 Performance

Hi all!

My husband and I bought our baby used in 9/24 with only 2500 miles on her. After a couple battery issues in the first month and a half, the dealership replaced it. She now has a completely dead battery, after starting her every month during the winter. She started great. A little hesitant, during our negative temperatures. After life took over some of the things, she is dead now. We have had a trickle charger (GM Corvette one) on her for almost a week and the charger is now showing some improvement. It’s obviously plugged into the cigarette lighter port in the frunk. We’re not sure if this is doing anything what we could possibly do to get her charged. All help is appreciated!!!!

Thank you,

Shara and Rob

For next Winter, just keep the trickle charger on it all Winter long, no need to start the car once a month, probably does more harm than good just starting it and not getting it up to temperature. I'm in Wisconsin and mine sits from about November to March/April never starting in between that time, and starts up fine during Spring. Double check the battery connection, maybe there is a loose connection from when the dealer replaced the battery? Maybe the dealer put in a lower quality battery. The charger should charge it right up after a day or so.

Get a new battery, keep it on the trickle charger all the time, unless you are driving it every day. These cars eat voltage and batteries!
