CTEK MXS 5.0 12V Smart Battery Charger
The CTEK MXS 5.0 is an advanced microprocessor controlled 12V battery charger designed to provide dependable charging and maintenance for a wide range of lead acid vehicle batteries. Its fully automatic eight step charging cycle analyses the condition of the battery before selecting the correct charging and maintenance stages. The charger includes a patented automatic desulphation programme to help restore batteries affected by sulphation, while the dedicated Recond mode can help revive deeply discharged and stratified batteries. A dedicated AGM programme is designed to maximise the performance and service life of compatible AGM and Start Stop batteries. Built in automatic temperature compensation adjusts the charging voltage according to ambient conditions, helping provide effective charging in both hot and cold weather. The MXS 5.0 can charge batteries from 1.2Ah up to 110Ah and maintain larger batteries up to 160Ah using CTEK's float and pulse maintenance system. Its simple LED display makes programme selection and charging progress easy to understand, while spark free operation, reverse polarity protection and short circuit protection provide additional safety.
