The Camaro one is just a restickered C-TEK charger. Can't remember the model number but if you Google C-TEKs models you will quickly find the right one. GM do not make these themselves

Advantage of buying from C-TEK is that you will get it cheaper than buying from GM (but still get the same product) and you can buy a bunch of useful stuff like extension cables, quick release, battery post adapters etc etc

Are you able to change the cords on the Camaro version? I tried and could not, that's why I went with a different one.

Hi Flynn, not sure as I bought the C-TEK specifically so that I could get extra leads etc for my truck as well.

I had the GM one on my Corvette C7 (before my Camaro) and that did not have changeable leads

Using a CTEK, same one that kept my 2016 Z06 charged when not in use. Just bought the direct wire adaptor to hook to battery and hope to install shortly. It's a great idea to keep a battery fully charged and the one below works great for AGM batteries. As others have mentioned, the GM (private labeled by CTEK) doesn't allow for extensions and other adapters, thus why I bought the one that I did. Also, bought an 8 stage version to keep battery conditioned.

Anyone knows the differences between CTEK models Multi US 3300, Multi US 4300, and MXS 5.0? Which is better for 2016 2SS? Is the NOCO Genius G3500 as good as CTEK?

I should get a Battery Charger before winter?

Thanks

I also have a number of Deltran Battery tenders for moto's, quads, cars, boat etc. Never had a problem -

I also like the feature where you wire the wire harness that comes with it directly to the battery, then just plug and unplug when you want to use it.
