I think this is a must have for anyone that goes 3+ days without driving their car or just to make sure you have a full charge. Get yours or any OEM part from 404parts.com
You gave the best information on these battery tenders As a new c6 corvette owner, I appreciate the detail of you video Thanks!
A battery tender is a good idea! My car sits for several days in a row so I may need to invest in one!! 👍🏿
Yeah after I came back from vacation and went a couple more days without starting it would t turn over. Had to charge it up. So I may have a bad battery or alternator alternator. Going to get it checked out.
How much
I have a C-7 with the factory ordered battery tender. I like the extra features on the new unit. C-7s are hard on batteries. I've had three in my 2015 Stingray.
Yeah C6 is too especially with added Supercharger auxiliary pump. These are definetly must haves I think. Thanks for watching...
@@OnlinecarshowNet1 can this battery trickle work on a 1989 corvette cigarette lighter?
My C7 sits for extended periods of time. My wife bought this for me..excited to use it since my battery is always dead😳
Be sure to remove the red tip on the charger plug. It won't make contact with it in place
Bro, this is why I have a red top optima battery and a billet 270 amp alternator in my 2009 Z06 I changed out my head unit to a pioneer touchscreen 8 JL Audio C7 Speakers in 4 sets of 8.0/ 6.5/ 3.0/ 1.0 then 4 JL Audio Amps 2 RD 1500/1 for Subs 2 1000/4 for the speakers then after a head, a yellow top Optima Battery and also a red top optima battery under the hood in front and also a
Billet Alternator with 270amps
But it’s always good to have that to check your system. It’s a great tool and also a back up jumper pack with boost just in case your batteries do die I bought a Mac tool lithium ion battery jumpstart pack USB charger takes about four hours to charge and has negative and positive clams to hook up to your battery to charge.
The other day I have a 2019 Kia optima that was sitting on the driveway for literally three weeks and when I went to go start at the battery was just totally depleted because a interior light was left on for over 21 days we try jumpstarting it and it wouldn’t hit it up. The battery was really down to and it’s the original battery when I put that Mac tool Jump starter pack on it turn the key didn’t start it up and turn the key. Saw the car powered on hooked up the clamps to the terminal hit the boost button went back into the car and it started right up. What a great fucking time to have. It has emergency flashlights on it USB, charging ports and the optional area to have a 12 V outlet as well. I spent 280 on that and one of the best emergency jumpstart pack and Mac tool had the number one on Amazon again it was 280 on Amazon everywhere else it was gone for like $350 to $375
Just the pioneer head unit and smaller pulleys was draining my battery. I needed that upgraded alternator.
When I saw it on the option sheet, naive' me thought he'd be getting a wired-in charger. When I got the car, it had a little box in it with this not-first-rate battery charger in it. My advice as a Corvette C7 owner? (1) get a marine-quality power outlet socket with a weatherproof cap and get it installed in the passenger side rear bumper valance and (2) get a Battery Tender charger, not the toy Chevrolet sells you. That way you'll keep your battery charged and you won't have to have your trunk or door open to charge it (see #1).
I agree Chevy should have made better car wiring. Something where your not closing a car or lid on a energized wire. That's my biggest complaint. I beat up the unit pretty hard and was always dropping it on garage floor. I will say it is built decently strong and never had any issues. But agree fully. Chevy really should have made this a easier and more permanent in vette. It's a car that's not always a daily driver. And some people garage for entire winter. Having something cracked slightly and seal broken could let moths or bugs into car.
Can it really be left plugged in for extended amount of times
Another must-have accessory in your car is a back up belt with a 50 piece ratchet set just in case you need to change out a belt and also a AAA card that goes along with my friends for a tow lockout battery jump emergency gas I wouldn’t get the basic I would get the premium plan because if you’re far away from home, it gives you up to 120 mile toll The basic only gives you I think up to 20 or 25 miles $120 a year is nothing and then also if you have a AAA card you can pay your registration at the AAA office instead of going to the DMV and on top of that you get discounts at hotels car rentals so many perks to have them that membership
I also carry a portable air compressor and plug kit for longer trips or cruises.
Just one problem the charge plug is in the trunk over the battery. You can’t use the dash it has auto shut off.
Is this true? My 2013 GS came with this battery tender and I have no plug in my trunk. I doubt they’d sell the charger with no place to plug it in.
Nice video for a easy to use item. Glad you made this one. Will this work on a 2020 Camaro LT1/SS?
I would double check forums on ig cigarette lighter battery tenders work on Camaro SS. But guessing it should.
what is the purpose of the red cap?
It protects the tip..a hard condom👍
It would be nice if you could show the OEM Part Number and the cost you paid. Your video does not talk about the technical details about this battery maintainer. A lot of room for improvement. ☹
Great job keep up the great work! because I have a C6 Corvette Zo6 because I sold my battery tender from my 2018 C7 corvette Z06 automatic.
❤️
I had mine plugged in for five weeks on a c7 z06 and the battery still went dead. I thought these were to prevent a battery from going dead if the car is in storage.
Do you have a discount code for 404 Parts?
@7:35 so, is this legit what this little divit(sp?) in the door is for? I was wondering what that is on my 13 Grand Sport....
Yeah it’s there. And was on my 2008 z06. I’m not sure if it was done on purpose for a wire but it sure works great.
I think all Cteks read low then go up in same fashion. I and others are seeing same thing on new Corvettes. It may be accuracy of meter. I have unplugged it by accident and plugged it in and it took a second but went right back up. After a drive yeah slow metering?
Will it work on a 2004. C5?
For some reason mine never goes to the full charge, or far right light indicator. Always stays on the 3/4 battery light indicator.
Weird. Mine never starts at full. It's always way low. But I think itz the duralast battery. What battery you running. It could be the issue.
Just plug in and shut the door my C7 came with one
Yeah it’s awesome. I used to have a c7 z51 and bought with the car. Definetly a must have if you dont daily.
If the yellow light on the charger keeps flashing what does that mean? Thanks.
I don't know to be honest. I never had that happen...
@@OnlinecarshowNet1 I was asking for a friend who was having this problem with the yellow light flashing. Found out what it was. He forgot to remove the red cap on the plug in part of the charger. All good now. Thanks.
Just to make sure this works for the base C6 Corvette as well?
I use it on my 2006 C6, plugged into the cigarette lighter plug inside the center arm rest without issues.
So basically he is saying using this car charger is as simple as plug into house outlet. And outlet in the car. And let it do it’s thing. Nice
I never had to charge a car before even after letting car sit for a week,,, what is with American cars???????? Thinking I made a mistake buying my 22 c8 vette if the battery doesn't hold charge,,,, wtf
Lol that's recommended on any car brother. Stereos, security systems, and comforts just slowly pull battery power. Chances are you go months and months ths and nothing will ever happen. But it prolongs battery life and with mods I've done I'm pushing the max of my alternator a little. That'd upgradable too 😁
Lol you shouldn't have to charge it or maintain it if you let it sit for a week or two.
Will this work on my 2003 c5 Corvette?
As long as it has a cig lighter/aux power port it should. It could pop a fuse at worst but I doubt it.
Older than c5 I’d worry I think c5 has kits like this aftermarket.
You don’t recommend keeping this connected for 4 months?
You might double check with manufacturer. But I would. Save your battery for when your ready that way.
Is it true that if you leave the trunk open it won't start charging and the red light stays on ??
No. It charges mine regardless of anything. Even if motor is on. Not sure about c7 or c8. But on c6 it doesn't matter.
@@OnlinecarshowNet1 you are correct, it was another error in my case. I thought I read somewhere that someone had this issue though. The fact that the unit gets a little bit hot after a while is normal right?
Cool thanks for the video
Great video.
I drive my car maybe once a week, would you recommend I plug it in every day when I'm not driving it?
Hardly qualifies as a mod. I think you need to look up the definition of a "car mod". It's what we like to call an "accessory".
