Review on πŸ”‹ CTEK (40-255) CT5 Time To Go 12V Battery Charger & Maintainer with Accessories by Mateusz Roczon ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

When connected, it shows the approximate charge time, it showed 2 hours on one battery, and after 20 minutes the go LED lit up, that is, the battery is ready for use. On the second battery, the LED blinked - 8 hours before the end of charging, and after 5 minutes the go also lit up, but this battery was already charged. It is not clear how long to keep the charge maintenance LED on, you need to try it experimentally. In general, there is only one drawback to charging - the price.

Pros
  • Shows the approximate time until the end of charging. It is not necessary to disconnect the battery from the vehicle network. You can leave the battery indefinitely, it will maintain a charge. When the power is turned off, it starts up by itself. Well made, soft wires. The manufacturer declares the charge of a discharged battery from 2 volts and the operation of charging from 170 volts in the network. Compact size charger. Desulfation is declared, but you cannot check this mode. She chooses the current and charge amperes. Included are wires with terminals and a plug for permanent connection to the battery, so as not to be connected to the crocodile terminals and.
Cons
  • Very vague instructions, did not expect this from the Swedes. There is no display - accordingly it does not show the charge current and the percentage as for the Hyundai charging, but it is subjectively just used to it. No case for this price. Expensive for the price. External plastic protection of crocodiles is unreliable, one broke in a year. The plastic can be glued back to the crocodile with a glue gun.
