You'll not be disappointed, I'm betting. BTW, the BTs can (and should) be hooked up as much as practical: just after I shut the car down, before I lock the garage doors. The BTs will top off the battery and then revert to the maintenance programming to discourage sulfate from forming. Next to my scanner or maybe the FSM, that is the best tool I bought for the Vettes!

Good to know, never used 1, drive the car weekly, but surgery later this month will put me out for at least a month or more

The only time my BT is not on my Z is when I'm driving it or have it pulled out the garage for any reason. Other than that's she's always hooked up. Fires right up like it should every time and sometimes she might sit for a couple of months.

Any good suggestions for the best, handy location for the plug?

Thanks.

Been wondering about that as well...so far I just use the alligator clips to the terminals. Would love to hear and see a pic if anybody's got a neat way to do this!

What I use is the cigarette lighter charger for the battery tender. extremely easy and you can leave the hood down and the car closed.
