Why choose the CTEK MXS 5.0 Battery Charger?

A CTEK battery charger is an essential accessory for any driver - not only do they come in handy when your battery is dead, they also keep your battery healthy when you're too busy to take your pride and joy out for a ride. The MXS 5.0 CTEK battery charger contains an advanced microprocessor that automatically diagnoses your battery condition and intelligently selects the most beneficial mode for ultimate charging performance. The desulphation mode is especially important for vehicles that use idle-stop technology because these batteries undergo additional stress - by using the MXS 5.0 CTEK Battery Charger once a month for 8 hours overnight, you can actually double the life of your battery!

The automatic temperature compensation feature of the CTEK MXS 5.0 also makes sure your battery is properly charged in all seasons and temperatures. Charging performance depends on the temperature of the surrounding environment; when the surrounding temperature is too cold or hot, your car battery can become under- or over-charged - this isn't great for the battery in the long term. Luckily for you, CTEK MXS 5.0 controls for temperature fluctuations to provide the right amount of charge to your battery at all times of the year.


Can I leave my CTEK MXS 5.0 battery charger on all the time?

Yes! We all have better things to do than to constantly monitor our car batteries - that's why the CTEK MXS 5.0 battery charger is designed to be left charging on lead-acid batteries for long periods of time. With the AGM option, you'll get maximum performance life for most Stop/Start batteries; the microprocessor-controlled CTEK MXS 5.0 battery charger is a breeze to use and the patented float/pulse maintenance system will keep you at ease when you know you need to keep it connected for a while; it's the most efficient maintenance mode yet!


How long does it take the CTEK MXS 5.0 battery charger to charge a battery?

The CTEK MXS 5.0 battery charger will take approximately 26 hours to charge an empty 110Ah battery to 80% charge. Charging time drops for smaller battery sizes - for a 60Ah battery, it will reach 80% charge in 12 hours and for a 20Ah battery, it will reach 80% charge in 4 hours. You'll find the full list of charging times for each mode in the CTEK MXS 5.0 battery charger user manual.
