    Where can I get one (aside from the dealer)? Is there a particular model number? I have seen several different ones on ebay, etc.

    PS - this is for a 2013 California

    thanks.

    Try a search on CTEK to get all the regular threads with the various options & manufacturers

    BUT if you are replacing an existing one you probably have a plug that is only on the unit sourced via Ferrari

    In the trunk - right hand side, behind a panel. I think it is the same as on the original Cali. The Cali-T moves it outside the trunk and has a different connector.

    Yes, the Cali30 hooks up to the same battery tender in the same manner as the original Cali. I would get it from a dealer - not worth the hassles. If possible, get a higher spec unit than the marginal one originally supplied with the car.

    Drove a '15 T the other day, the charge plug is above the license plate area on the back of the car, in the overhang. The plug is held in place with magnets. FINALLY you don't have to plug it into the car and slam the trunk on it.

    Like the MagSafe plug on an Apple computer! I wonder if Ferrari licensed it from Apple?
