Review on 🔋 CTEK Lithium US 12V Automatic LiFePO4 Battery Charger, Blue (Model 56-926) by Shane Hartford

This is a great charger that clearly shows what it is doing with the battery which can be a lot more useful than the simple red/green charge indicator found on most cheaper products. With lithium batteries it can be important to know their state of charge as well as their total charge and it's nice to finally have a smart charger that can show this. I would give 5 stars after my first few uses, except for the fact that they chose to connect the charger's battery cable to a proprietary connector instead of the generic SAE connector that most of these products use. This means you will always need CTEK branded adapters to connect different types of pigtails. Also, CTEK didn't even include an SAE connector option in the box, forcing you to spend another $10 on an already expensive product. SAE is a very common type of connection in small vehicles where lithium batteries are most commonly used; Even CTEK's own description states that their $10 SAE pigtail is "a convenient way to connect a standard OE, SAE, or aftermarket pigtail to your CTEK products". Either way, they want another $10 from you to buy either an SAE connector or additional CTEK brand cables that will fit all of your vehicles.
