Overall Feedback:
97% positive
88% were satisfied with the input voltage range
The user has mentioned that the CTECH charger took 17 hours to fully charge and recondition the battery up to the 7th stage. After using this charger, the battery was fully charged and for the first time since he had the truck, the battery was at 13.85. This shows that the charger is capable of charging the battery to its full capacity.
69% praised the built-in safety features
The user has mentioned that he has not left the charger on a battery for months at a time, but he believes that it would do just fine.
The user mentions that the safety instructions are given equal importance as the operating instructions. The instructions stress the danger of disconnecting wires close to the battery which might be emitting hydrogen and cause an explosion.
I will not use a cheap Chinese charger as it might damage my sensitive electronics or even catch fire. I prefer to use CTEK charger as it is a safe option.
87% liked the portable design
The user recommends this charger to his friends and family as it is an excellent choice for car batteries, especially during COVID when people are driving less frequently. This shows that the user has used this charger himself and found it to be portable and easy to carry.
73% found it compatible with various devices, but 27% didn't
The user's main concern was purchasing a charger that works as advertised and can do desulfation.
The reviewer mentions that newer batteries have a microchip that communicates with modern vehicles and some have a Battery Monitoring System (BMS). The user also advises following the jump start procedure in the manual to ensure that the BMS is in sync with the battery.
The reviewer suggests that if you have a BMW, you should charge using the posts under the hood, as the BMS (Battery Management System) needs to know how much charge is applied, otherwise it throws a fit if you charge the battery directly without telling it.
Our battery charging/maintenance system is the most sophisticated in the market.
