    I ordered new CTEK from Amazon as my factory original charger finally failed. Idiots sent me wrong one, although while not identical to original type it should work.I noticed that the eyelets are too small to fit over the posts behind the driver's seat as did the originally installed connector. Anyone know which connector works , I see many choices on their website like comfort connectors and different eyelet sizes. Too lazy to measure it but I suppose I could always grab a ruler if no one has suggestions..

    I used a rat-tail file to make the holes larger. A bit of a pain, but it worked just fine.

    I would return it and get the exact correct one so that your car will maintain its value.

    I have the CTEK comforter to convert the connector. The thing I like is it monitors the battery with flashing lights -- green for okay, orange for may need to plug in the minder, and red for definitely needs attention.

    I dunno... Would the aftermarket maintainer version really effect production Ferrari resale value? Whoa. Better make sure it still has Italian air in the tires too. ;)

    That little gadget is neat. I am seeing those more & more.

    Make sure Europe electricity is used for charger. The wiring harness insulation degrades otherwise. Rube Goldberg said so.
