Probably made in the same factory, but I have 3 Cteks and they've been working great for years

Just to re-add to the thread bought my Ctek off eBay and it stopped working, no recourse with seller. Contacted Ctek and must say I am very impressed with the service. Sent out replacement, great company

I use a smart ring 12 amp charger. Been using it for 6 years now with zero issues.

It also has various testing functions to see level of charge, capacity, etc.

Has a maintenance mode, winter mode and a repair/reconditioning mode as well as the normal mode. Suitable for both start stop batteries and normal.

I have been thinking about getting a lithium battery usually used in supercars just because the battery is so heavy not ideal for winter when I usually take the battery out and into the garage and left on trickle charge.
