The re-branded CTEK charger is an excellent charger, and similar to the
one I am using. I can do without the C& logo and extra price premium. If
there is one thing a C7 does not need, it is any additional attempts to
grab attention with C7 logos. This C7 is a magnet for drawing anybody
and everybody's attention,

For whatever it is worth, BTW, the CTEK charging through the trunk
auxiliary port is working out great. Very nice way to keep it charged.
The only very minor problem is to be sure the trunk lid is down far
enough to prevent the interior trunk lamps from illuminating / drawing
power, while at the same time not applying a lot of crushing force on
the CTEK cable which is coming out of the trunk to the charger.
