What is a good charger to hook up for the winter with the battery still in the car? I was looking at the Pulse Tech Xtreme chargers but I'm not sure what model to get.

Go to a good marine shop and see what they would suggest. They would be the best in answering a question like that.

Somebody from this forum has recommended me the Battery Tender.

I'm very satisfied with it because it it easy to use and it works fine.

I've been using the CTEK 3300 for over 6 years and love it! http://www.amazon.com/Multi-12-Volt-.../dp/B000FQBWCY
My Z28 only gets driven occasionally so I leave it plugged into the CTEK when it's in the garage; same battery for last 6 years.

Battery Tender is the only way to go. I keep it on my Firehawk. I have been using it for over 5 years and car starts everytime. Only drawback on the Camaro would be the battery is in the trunk. I do not think I would use it on the terminals under the hood.

I use mine on the terminals under the hood without any issues
