Battery charging for automotive, marine and small power equipment couldn't get any easier. This product charges, conditions and maintains these types of batteries unless they are beyond salvaging. For vehicles with constantly powered cigarette lighter type power outlets (not universally available) and using the accessory cigarette lighter plug included with this product, it's a simple plug in connection. CTEK sells the plug separately but it's included with this item. The CTEK products have received high praise on Jay Leno's Garage with good reason. I've used it on my 981S Porsche, Honda Accord and RV battery.

The newest model of the CTEK is the MXS 5.0 battery charger and is recognized as ideal for all battery types. I found it easy to hook up to my Mercedes battery and follow the directions for a complete recharge. It also allows you to rehab an old battery with a special function. The unit gets warm but not hot, shows recharging progress, and is safe and well worth investing in. The summer really drains a battery with all of the electronics and the AC in constant operation. You'll need this to keep your battery working at optimal levels.

I've owned and used the PORSCHE brand for at least 15 years until it finally gave out in the intense Palm Springs heat. I did the new research and found that this CTEK brand is exactly the same except this CTEK brand is the most economical Porsche 911 battery maintainer...ever!

This product comes with excellent documentation and is easy to use. I use it on my 06 Mercedes E350 to keep the primary battery fully charged. Over the years and when starting the car I would get a message on the dash that read "Low Battery" and after driving it for approx 5 mi the message would go away. The CTEK has helped me solve the issue by recharging the battery every 10 days or so. It's a great product and it won't damage the battery because it will stop charging when the battery is fully charged. It will give indications along the charging process that let you know what is happening per the given documentation.

I use this charger periodically to keep my battery at full charge since I drive short distances. I'm hoping this will make my battery last its full life expectancy as well as my alternator.

Best product on the market. I own 2 of these. Only one that works on my long term vette storage. Also have 1 for my massi. Will not use lesser quality. I have 2 other trickle chargers that have failed me...if you dare, you can have them. When 300 dollar batteries fail when using poor quality chargers, it gets expensive and you realize for 50 to 75 bucks more you could have bought the CTEK. I DID, TIMES 2.

Pretty good product, much better than my previous "speed charger". It is compact, easy to use and takes care of the battery well.

This is a very simple to use product and it works fantastic. I have bought 3 of them and have them on all my cars. Make sure to get the 12v cigarette adapter!
