After doing some research on the red top Optima Batteries for your 2002 C5 Corvette, the CTEK 0.8 Universal Battery Charger for Small 12 Volt Batteries # CTEK56865 will maintain a charge on your vehicle battery. This charger should also be able to maintain the charge on your deep cycle trailer battery as long as it has a capacity less than 100 amp hours. This charger can maintain batteries with capacities up to 100 amp hours, but will only charge batteries with capacities from 1.2 to 32 amp hours.

If you were looking for a battery charger that would not only maintain a charge, but also charge your batteries, then I recommend the NOCO Genius Mini # 329-GENIUS5. The Optima battery in your Corvette will have a capacity of either 44 or 48 amp hours depending on the model.

This charger is a powerful, all-weather charger that charges, maintains, and helps recondition 12-volt batteries. This charger also has a mode for smaller batteries. I have included links to both of the instructions for the proper installation of this item as well as our FAQ page on battery chargers.
