My C7 came with the Battery Protection Package which included a GM Trickle
Charger (PART # 22969090). In the trunk area where the battery is located,
there's a cigarette lighter port which the charger connects to. No need
to get to the actual battery. Just plug into the lighter port and an
electrical outlet at the other end. I haven't used it yet but I assume
you have to leave the trunk lid opened. Hope this helps.
