Quick question, can these Corvette battery tenders be used on other vehicles? Ex: 2019 Escalade? I understand that the system requires a "live" outlet and i believe the rear hatch's outlet on the Caddy is. Don't want to try and fry something without asking the question?? Thanks in advance!

Mercedes has the CTEK "battery tender" as its OEM brand and that's the same OEM Corvette brand. So it's not vehicle specific, performs the same function for any 12V vehicle battery and is recognized as being very good since it stops charging once the battery is fully charged. That's not to say other brands won't do the same thing but you can't go wrong with CTEK.

That’s the whole purpose of a BATTERY TENDER regardless. 😳
 
Honestly, I haven’t tried it. What do I have that’s got Lithium. I think my Golf Caddy use lithium but not big enough to attach negative and positive wires. Plus it’s USB. Sorry can’t help for now. Will be searching. Interesting???😳🥂😷
Just realized rechargeable Lithium batteries. I can try it on my TOY motorized race car that I play with. At least it won’t be damaged from over charging. Thanks for the post. If this works my toy will be charged all the time. 👍🥂😷

Battery Tender have the same technology as the most expensive one out there. It’s just a matter of choice. 😳🥂😷
 
Google can be a wonderful thing.
 
Will it work on a LiPo battery?
Lithium Batteries charge at a slightly higher voltage than AGM or wet cell. You should use a charger meant for Lithium. However, my 2020 MB GLS580 has a mild hybrid ISG and 2 batteries. A Lithium 48V battery for starting and big power accessories like AC and an AGM 12V for small accessories. The battery maintainer used (MB has a branded CTEK too) is for a regular 12V battery and it charges the 12V battery in the GLS and the 12V system converts to 48V to charge the Lithium at the same time.
