If you want one the genuine one with the logo you can buy it from Amazon or any gm dealership.
Amazon product ASIN B008FCCX9G
Or you can pay much less and buy any from Amazon like I did.
Amazon product ASIN B006CQ9BMOYou need to add the accessory connector for $25.

Got my CTEK on Amazon, instead of corvette branded, I got the same unit with multiple connectors so I could use it on my other cars.

get the c-tek! It will show you the condition of the battery as soon as you connect it, so you'll know how much charging is needed. The other one doesn't give this info. I have both and only use the C-tek now because of the extra info.

I'll "second" Zedder's wise advice: the C-tek battery tender, is better IMO than others, for its functions. You don't need the GM OEM C-tek with the fancy Corvette logo on it, which costs more and does the exact same thing.

Do C8s have a high parasitic draw? I had a battery tender for my C6 since it could flatten a good battery in 2-3 weeks of idle time, but I'm hoping not to need one for my C8

Crappy Tire. Battery Tender brand. I have been using one for years in the cold frozen north for years and not an issue. Put a Corvette sticker on it.
