This also means the battery does not need to be disconnected while charging. All CTEK battery chargers deliver extremely clean voltage and current, with very little supply ripple to ensure sensitive vehicle electronics are protected. Patented float and pulse maintenance stages ensure that once fully charged, the battery can be maintained indefinitely on vehicles that are not used for an extended period, without the risk of overcharging or undercharging. The new generation CTEK MXS 5.0 revives, charges, conditions and maintains all types of 12V lead-acid batteries including wet, calcium, GEL, EFB and AGM for cars, motorcycles, UTV, watercraft and more. If desired, the MXS 5.0 can maintain a battery indefinitely without the risk of damage to the battery or delicate vehicle electronics.

Each stage ensures that any lead-acid battery is optimally conditioned, charged and maintained. Included in the eight steps are desulphation and reconditioning phases that can restore discharged batteries to peak condition. It offers 4.3 amp charging current as well as the company’s proprietary, eight-step battery care program. The CTEK MXS 5.0 smart charger also continually monitors the battery throughout the charging process, adjusting the charging rate to the battery condition. “The CTEK MXS 5.0 automatically adjusts the charging rate depending on ambient temperature to ensure ideal charging in extreme cold or hot weather conditions.” “Cold batteries need a higher charge voltage in order to push current into the battery plates and electrolyte, while warmer batteries require a lower charge voltage to eliminate potential damage to cells and reduce unnecessary gassing,” said Bobbie DuMelle, executive vice-president of CTEK North America.
