Quick cteck question
- Thread starter iceboy
- Start date
Mines connected to the CTEK 100% of the time when not in use , which includes 4-5 months continuously in the winter and the battery is still the same one it came with over 9 years ago. Seeing as I've never had a battery last this long before I think it is actually better for it!

From their website...
CTEK's smart chargers move into a pulse maintenance mode once the battery is fully charged. Rather than sending in a charge and estimating what the battery needs, a CTEK charger will stay in constant communication with the battery, reacting and charging only when it is needed.
In pulse maintenance mode, the battery will be allowed to naturally self discharge to a certain level before being fully charged once again. Not only does this avoid the risk of overcharging but, as the battery is being exercised as it would be during normal use, the lifespan of the battery is extended considerably.

It's as much a battery conditioner as charger. The ctek when left on for long periods of time should actually keep your battery in good health
