Owner reviews for battery charger

Ctek 5.0 Been using that it’s great

Skyrc MC3000 is one of the best out there.

I have a bunch of other chargers which have been collecting dust since i got the skyrc and ill probably get a second one

Get one of these battery chargers. You don't need anyone around, nor do you need cables of any length. It has emergency light, can charge your cell phone, a very bright LED light and I think it can be charged using the socket in your car. This puppy has saved us 4 times during C-19 when we weren't going anywhere and stupidly not starting the cars in the winter.

Regarding your battery, one thing I highly recommend is this: [https://www.bestproducts.reviews/noco-battery-chargers?origin=google&google\\_params\\[matchtype\\]=&google\\_params\\[network\\]=x&google\\_params\\[device\\]=c&google\\_params\\[creative\\]=&google\\_params\\[keyword\\]=&google\\_params\\[adposition\\]=&google\\_params\\[adgroupid\\]=&google\\_params\\[campaignid\\]=22892631530&bs=&google\\_params\\[feeditemid\\]=&google\\_params\\[targetid\\]=&google\\_params\\[loc\\_interest\\_ms\\]=&google\\_params\\[loc\\_physical\\_ms\\]=9021532&google\\_params\\[devicemodel\\]=&google\\_params\\[target\\]=&dest=0&sys\\_id=0|916&gad\\_source=1&gad\\_campaignid=22886963910&gbraid=0AAAAADpOwZaRJ33uq-3k5HW9uk7E2m-BM&gclid=Cj0KCQiAosrJBhD0ARIsAHebCNpnNj0jEZY1EqAMIHR9X9hQd273o68k1bGEm1JvRZOCDM4Yyv7zWCkaAsuiEALw\\_wcB](https://www.bestproducts.reviews/noco-battery-chargers?origin=google&google_params[matchtype]=&google_params[network]=x&google_params[device]=c&google_params[creative]=&google_params[keyword]=&google_params[adposition]=&google_params[adgroupid]=&google_params[campaignid]=22892631530&bs=&google_params[feeditemid]=&google_params[targetid]=&google_params[loc_interest_ms]=&google_params[loc_physical_ms]=9021532&google_params[devicemodel]=&google_params[target]=&dest=0&sys_id=0|916&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22886963910&gbraid=0AAAAADpOwZaRJ33uq-3k5HW9uk7E2m-BM&gclid=Cj0KCQiAosrJBhD0ARIsAHebCNpnNj0jEZY1EqAMIHR9X9hQd273o68k1bGEm1JvRZOCDM4Yyv7zWCkaAsuiEALw_wcB)\n\nIt's a small but mighty battery charger. No need for long jumper cables or another car to jump you. Just attach the cables to you battery (by yourself), get in the car and it'll start right up. No fear of sparking, fire or shocks. It's saved me several times.

All I know is using a NOCO or equivalent battery charger is far superior to the solid state battery cookers that used to be common.

I use Ctek battery chargers. Automatic shut off when full. Get one with a reconditioning function & winter mode.

I had a 4-year old AGM 12v that wouldn't hold a resting charge above 12.14V after dying. Did several repair cycles with the charger and now holds a resting charge of 12.6+ volts.

I had the same thing with my CTEK connector (although I put mine on the starter battery since the other panel is simple to open), but instead of forcing off the nuts, I just clipped a piece out of the CTEK ring connector. In retrospect, I wouldn't have bothered with the CTEK charger at all, my old Schumacher charger is just as good

I recently experienced a high voltage battery failure while driving. The local dealership sent it to a VW dealer in Massachusetts for repair. One month later, it came back. I drove it for 2 days and plugged it in to charge, only to discover it wouldn’t take a charge. I had it towed to the local dealer who told me it needed a new battery charger ($2300 + $1100 labor) and I’m still waiting for the repair. I was only 17 days out of the 5-year warranty and VW won’t cover this repair. The Massachusetts dealer returned the car to me knowing it didn’t have a functional charger.

Mine s CTEK MUS 4.3... I did not use this to charge Phaeton AGM battery. I used it on a Group 49 regular battery and that was very hot. I figured that if the charger is smart, it would self regulate the charging rate... but seems like full power for hours.
