## Description

.

Review: Easy to use. Looks and feels a quality product. With stop start batteries and computers controlling so many systems a more sophisticated solution seems to be a good idea. I connected it to the terminals and let it get on with the job. Indicator lights tell you when it’s finished. To be honest, I bought it because I went to get my wife from the station and when she arrived, the car wouldn’t start. It was late at night and the RAC recovery couldn’t get to the car until early the next day so I had to leave it where it was. The guy from the RAC (brilliant guy extremely nice, extremely helpful) told me after questioning my use of the car that I wasn’t using the car enough to keep the battery fully charged and he advised me to buy a sophisticated battery charger and put it on charge once every couple of weeks to bring the battery up to full strength. So that’s why I bought it.
Review: Great unit use it for Motorcycle battery

## Features

- Countdown Timer and Start Indicator: The world's first charger with a countdown answers the question ‘When will my battery be fully charged?’. It gives you an accurate prediction of the remaining charging time in hours. Indicator will tell you when you can safely try to start your vehicle before the battery is fully charged.
- Built-In Temperature Compensation: Built-in automatic charge voltage compensation ensures the most efficient charging in extreme hot or cold weather conditions.
- Reconditioning Mode: RECOND mode restores batteries that are out of condition or deeply discharged.
- AGM Mode: Dedicated charge program for AGM batteries for a faster charge time and to maximise battery life.
- Patented Desulphation Function: Unused batteries lose their power and their life is shortened through sulphation. Pulsing current and voltage, safely removes sulphate from the lead plates of the battery restoring battery health.
- Patented Float/Pulse Maintenance: Makes the charger ideal for long-term battery maintenance.
- Connect and Forget: Fast, fully automatic charging programs. Select the program with the mode button and leave the charger to do the rest.
- Safe and Easy to Use: Splash and dustproof, short circuit proof and designed to protect vehicle electronics. Spark free, reverse polarity protected clamps.
- Protects Sensitive Equipment: Unlike less sophisticated chargers, there is no need to disconnect the battery. All CTEK chargers have been specially designed so they won't damage electronic systems, overcharge or undercharge the battery.
- Multiple accessories included: Clamps and practical eyelet connector, for easier access to the battery, all supplied as standard.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***G on 17 June 2020*

Have used it to charged multiple cars now including two start/stop engines. Have used all 3 mode (normal/agm/recondition) as I've used it to recondition an older car battery now and everything appears to be working as it should. A required tool especially if you are in lockdown for several months and may not drive your car very often since you might be working from home. CTEK have videos on their website to show you how to use it, but there isn't much to it as it's mainly plug and play and knowing which mode to use which is self explanatory. Hardest part would be knowing where your battery is in your car, or the battery charging connection points are (some BMW for instance you don't connect to the battery directly). Very simple to use. Can be used to 'jump start' your car if you need it relatively soonish but it depends on how much battery you had left, otherwise you would still need to leave in on charge for up to 30 minutes before driving to jump start it. It estimates how long you have left to charge on your car but it's not very accurate. It is safe to keep your car battery connected 24-7 so it really isn't an issue most of the time. You'd probably have to leave it connected for a day to allow it to fully charge anyhow. Knocking it down a star for being very expensive. Prices fluctuates quite a bit from £70 to almost £100. Probably still worth it if you have multiple or more expensive cars sitting the garage.
