Description

A lot of motorcycle riders choose to store their motorcycle during the winter season and wait for spring and warmer temperatures before they start riding again. However, no matter if you are driving or storing it, the battery will be affected.

So, after way too many hours spent, I came to the conclusion that CTEK’s are among the best there is, if not the best charger on the market (in retrospect, I should have just taken Harry’s advice). About the CTEK CompanyIf you happen to own a luxury or high-performance vehicle, there’s a good chance that you already own a CTEK charger, and you don’t even know it. Let me explain. CTEK makes branded chargers for over 40 of the most prominent and prestigious car & motorcycle brands in the world. There’s an exclusive ‘Client Brand’ team within CTEK that works with OEM clients and fine-tunes their chargers for each specific brand. If you have bought a particular model of Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, etc., you probably received a CTEK charger with the car. These cars, in most cases, aren’t daily drivers, so maintaining their batteries is a must. THe MXS 5.0 comes with the added function of automatic temperature compensation this means it will charge even in very hot or very cold environments. Making it a very robust piece of kit whatever the season.

A slowly declining current will charge the battery up to its full capacity. As soon as the LED light #4 turns on, your battery is ready to use. Q: What if I select the AGM mode, but the battery isn’t AGM? Will that cause damage to the charger or the battery?

Specifications

The German outlet Auto Zeitung has done a comparison of the best battery chargers for motorcycles. They tested a lot of chargers and CTEK’s MXS 5.0 were their favorite. When I originally published this review (in April 2020), I wasn’t sure if I could use the ‘Recond’ mode on a battery that was still attached to the car. CTEK chargers are spark-proof, reverse-polarity protected, and electronic safe. Accessories for CTEK MXS 5.0

The MXS 5.0 also includes battery diagnosis to establish whether your battery can receive and retain a charge, patented automatic desulphation program, an AGM option which maximizes the performance life of most Stop/Start batteries and a special Recondition mode for reconditioning deeply discharged batteries. The MXS 5.0 uses CTEK’s patented float/pulse system, which is the most efficient maintenance mode when a battery is connected for long periods. Features & Benefits: Just one more thing: Do not mix Stratification with Sulphation problems. Sulphation affects all kinds of lead/acid batteries AND every CTEK charging program starts with a desulphation step, so you do not have to worry about that. If no information is available, use the normal charging option, which is 14.4V. That setting is safe to use for all battery types (lead-acid, including GEL, EFB, AGM, etc.). In general, if you are not sure about the battery type, it’s always better to charge with lower voltage than a higher voltage.

In Sweden, all car owners must transition to winter tires by December 1st. What many overlook is the impact of cold weather on the car battery. The colder it gets, the more crucial maintenance charging becomes, especially for vehicles covering shorter distances. There are also new types of drive-through stores than ever before, such as pharmacies or restaurants. Restaurants that offer smartphone apps that allow you to get your meal delivered to your car. However, we are mostly unaware of the strain this have on our car’s battery. For example, if you own a motorcycle or a quad, you can simply connect the MXS charger to the battery (no need to disconnect the battery first) at the end of the season and leave it there until you’re ready to ride again. They connected me with their PR & Communication manager, who kindly approved this, plus she generously offered me to send the CTEK CT5 Protect Bumper and the CTEK Comfort Connect Cig Plug.

It’s also incredibly easy to use. Simply hook it up, and let it do its thing. Science fans rejoice because CTEK has an eight-step charging programme. This begins by cleaning the battery, before giving it a lighter charge until it’s at about 10 per cent. If the battery can accept the charge, it’ll go ahead and give it everything until it’s about 80 per cent full. Now it tapers off until it’s 99 per cent full. These days, the standard of battery chargers is much higher than, say, 10 years ago (here’s the best battery chargers in the UKfor your perusal). CTEK Chargers is a brand that specializes in battery chargers and matching accessories designed to keep your vehicle's battery in optimal condition. So, what makes a CTEK battery so ingenious and convenient? Their products boast quite a few advanced and unique features:It is no surprise that the NOCO models are similar in design (although the Genius10 is near twice the size of the Genius1). The C-TEK MXS 5.0 features the same rectangular design with an on/off button, mode button, and LED display. All three units feature large battery clamps. Key differences between MXS 5.0, Genius10, and Genius1 Design and specifications A: The Recond program is used only for flooded batteries (including EFB), to re-balance the flooded acid inside. I already mentioned the CTEK Indicator Eyelet accessory, which I’ll probably buy later on, but there are many more CTEK accessories available. Reconditioning– If the charger determines that the battery is sulfated or otherwise damaged, it may enter a reconditioning stage to attempt to restore the battery to its full capacity. This stage involves a series of high-current charges and discharges to break down the sulfation and help to restore the battery’s performance.
