Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ CTEK (56-382) Comfort Indicator Eyelet for M8 Top Post Batteries: Black - Efficient Battery Monitoring Solution by Dewitt Bhattacharya

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent way to ensure your battery is charged

Good construction, easy to install and use with Ctek brand chargers. My wife and I don't drive often, sometimes 2 weeks or more between trips as online delivery and working from home has become our way of life. The problem was that new cars drained the battery even when they were in the garage. We had dead batteries twice (oops!), and I got tired of opening the hoods to check voltage, attaching charging clips, removing and closing the hood, etc. The solution was to put these connectors + monitors on each install car. I extended the cables so the end of the +monitor connector came out close to the windshield - this way I didn't have to open the hood to charge and I could see the monitor LEDs by just walking into the garage. I leave the newest car plugged in 90% of the time and only turn it off when the second car shows "yellow battery" and therefore needs to be charged. The charger is suspended from the ceiling, the cable can be easily moved from car A to car B. Real time savings, no dead batteries and no worries about whether the hood closes properly every week.

Pros
  • Enjoy
Cons
