Bought 3 C-Tek Smart Chargers in 2010. One for my brother in Texas and 2 for my house hold in SoCal. We have multiple motorcycle and too many cars. The C-Teks work great. Just had to order the one you are reviewing 2 days ago to replace the one our oldest boy uses after 10 years one of them quit working.
You're right! I shot that clip to show the error message you get if you connect it wrong and in production used it without the commentary. Not much of an editor. Too funny. Good catch.
Jahyaviknes Shan Shanmuganathan I noticed that the desulphation mode (1) isn't as effective as a conventional desulphator. Like the ones you get off eBay. 😑🙄
David Bolha yup you’re right.. tried charging a dead battery. It went up to stage 7.. but when i used the battery for cranking.. it could not crank.. didn’t know what is the actual issue
can this hold/maintain a 12.5v while running the water pump car off? i am asking because i have a 2007 bmw 525xi i did work on the cooling system and i have to bleed the system, for that i have to run the water pump with the switch on engine off for 12 min to circulate the coolant and this cars if they have low voltage the dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree with faults,
Awesome, good vid............Porsche and other high end companies have been selling this CTEK product with Porsche logo. Go figure it's at least $100 more than basic product on Amazon or Ebay.
I have just purchased one I put it on my camper battery that was going flat from lack of use it has got to level 6 & hasn't gone to the next level it's been there for 3 days. The battery is only 6 months old I thought it would be at the next level by now which is the maintenance level I presume it's working correctly.
Great review. Bought one six years ago and never had a problem. Best Smart Charger I’ve ever used. Now I have two for my other cars. Highly recommend.
Thanks. Great to hear from personal experience.

I can't be the only person who noticed that you connected the charger backwards!? Hilarious!!!

Glad you made an editing mistake because I was going to discount everything you said
This works. I let my friends borrow it when their car won’t start in their garage. So far it hasn’t failed.
Got/Bought mine yesterday. 😊
Same goes to me.. just saved one battery

@@jahyaviknesshanshanmuganat23 If the plates' color are grey or white, then you have (some level of) sulphation. 🙄
@ho ma Depends... it can take even several months, if the battery is heavily sulphated. 😑
Once it took me an entire year to revive one.

Thanks. Wow on the price for a Porsche logo!
Will this device extend the expected battery life? How many times in a year should you be using this?
It should. I only connect it when I won't use the vehicle very often. My motorcycle gets connected every fall until spring.
Any battery up to 100Ah
how many times a year should i use this?

Had it for over a year
does it 220v-240v?
There is a version available for the countries that use 220-240v.
can this charge any car battery like Mercedes e class 2017?
Yes. There's nothing special about Mercedes Banz batteries.
