I have a low kilometer 2019 Z06 and this year is the first time ever I experienced a battery issue on a Corvette. I typically disconnect the batteries in my cars during winter storage and reconnect them in the spring and have never had any issues. This year however, the Z06 wouldn't start after reconnecting the battery. All my other cars were OK. I checked the voltage on the Z06 and was surprised to see that the voltage was around 8 volts. After putting a charger on the battery for several hours, everything seemed back to normal. I've had the car on a battery tender for the past couple of weeks and the same thing happened today (no start and ~8 volts). I'm not sure if I have a defective battery tender or if the battery is shot. I'll find out tomorrow morning as it's currently on charge using a different battery tender.

Out of curiosity I thought I'd ask if anyone else has had a similar issue with the battery in their C7 Z06 and if so, how was the issue resolved?
