🔋 CTEK (56-865) US 0.8 12V Fully Automatic Battery Charger - Black: 6-Step Charging for Optimal Performance Review

I still have one of these that I use over my cigarette lighter and am happy with it. I needed another one but I need to connect to the battery terminals as the cigarette lighter doesn't get power without turning on the ignition. My problem is that the terminal adapter plugs are too small to fit on the terminal screws. Now they are either cut or replaced. The alligator clips are not strong enough. I would be wary of purchasing unless you are using a cigarette adapter. Such a simple solution…

Beware Revain Warehouse on Charger. The initial return is for a reason and not worth the risk. CTEK's 5-year warranty is not covered. Devices that interact with relatively large 12V batteries can create dangerous situations. After 2 1/2 months of purchase, the charger hasn't gotten past step 2 of bulk charging a small car battery. The AutoZone scanner and later the voltmeter will confirm that the battery is already 100% charged. The device should have finished charging or entered trickle mode…

According to my Amazon story I have ordered 4 of these devices since 2017. Really simple and easy to use. I have 9 bikes, 7 of which are zinc plated and roadworthy so I need multiple tenders. Of the 4 I have, I believe one is still working. At least the battery it charges is green and lasts 12.7. The other 3 are useless. All batteries are not older than 3 years. I have some old battery tenders so I hooked them up to the batteries where the CTEKs were. Batteries are fine again. Very disappointed

I have a 2008 sports car that came from the factory with a CTEK charger similar to the US 0.8 (actually the US 800 model). The battery in this car lasted 8 years and is still working. To my surprise, it is tested perfectly at full capacity. I attribute this exceptional battery life to the CTEK charger. In my other cars, which I have used with different chargers from time to time, there have been many problems with the battery. I have now removed these chargers and replaced them with CTEK units.

I have had many other Battery Tender chargers, all were overpriced, defective, poor quality or poor design, defective batteries (three batteries made) or just had general problems. I had a 90% failure rate. I decided it was time to switch providers (sorry I'm not a happy Deltran customer). I have purchased other larger CTEK fees and have been pleased with their performance. I have this little device to keep my little generator battery charged. I wanted a smart little charger that wasn't too…

I bought a pair of these - if you plan on using this to service your car battery while in storage - it will help. It's insufficient to charge a dead or weak car battery in any way resembling just-in-time charging, but it will certainly work just as well as more expensive/more powerful Ctek service chargers. A few weeks ago I was driving on the freeway for a long time - about 70 miles each way - then after coming home and unloading a few packages - I went out to gas up and came back home…

This item is amazing. I love the fact that it takes guesswork to figure out if your battery is wet, aluminum, or gel. He just goes to work and does his job. It comes with a set of alligator clips and a set of wire connectors that easily attach to the battery. I connected mine to the battery directly on the bike and left. At first I didn't think it was working as it stayed in step 2 of charging for a very long time, but the next morning it said the battery was fully charged. The battery is new…

I chose four CTEK batteries. Batteries are expensive and after much research I found CTEK to be the way to go for investment protection. Other chargers can damage batteries if left on for too long. Watch Jay Leno's videos explaining this. CTEK (56-353) MULTI US 7002 12v Battery ($117) Of the four CTEKs I own, this is my favorite because it has all the features of the CTEK (56-353) MULTI US 7002 with more power . The fully automatic CTEK 56-864 Mus 4.3 12V ($60) is a good alternative when lower…

**The instructions state that this charger should be used to charge batteries from 1.2Ah to 32Ah. If it can't quickly charge a large battery, don't complain, the info is there. My "guess" is that charging larger batteries may shorten the life of the charger. The manual says it can service any battery from 1.2Ah to 100Ah in a temperature range of * -4 to +122 Fahrenheit. CTEK 0.8 comes with two different cables with different termination options. One cable has clips that are a bit thicker than…
