Hi all CTEK 5.0 owners. I also have this latest 5.0 charger, and I noticed one of its program is the AGM reconditioning and another is normal battery recond. It is also explained in its booklet that during recond programs higher charging values are being applied to the battery.
My question would be if these recond programs could be used on in-situ batteries, which are still normally connected to the car`s electrical system? Makes no damage to the car?

^ Ctek chargers are ideal for connecting to a battery fitted in the car and don't cause any problems at all whatever programme setting is used. That's what most people do including myself, never had any problems at all.

I do tend to disconnect the car when using recon mode (over cautious). Your only meant to use that feature every 6 months max.

I'm sure the early manuals recommended battery disconnection, but the later models don't seam to have it in.
