I have been using a Ctek MXS 10. I am happy with it. You can connect to the terminals in the engine bay. I and a couple of other forum members brought an M8 CTek connector and wired that to the terminals, so I safer and easier connection. One member has run that connector down meaning it sits inside the front bumper so he can connect the charger without opening the bonnet. SDV8 AB MY 2020

If you type in 'C-tek' into the search function there is a wealth of info about charging - battery chargers / conditioners. This should help, have a beer and prepare for some reading !

If you go for a Ctek think carefully/google before getting a MXS 10 or higher as the warranty is lower for the higher current models. I use the MXS 7.0 Chris

The slower you charge a battery, the longer its life. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that? |

I've just bought a Topdon tornado 30000 which has a few charging options plus a 12 volt supply if doing work with the IID tool. |
