CTEK MXS 5.0 Test and Charge, Intelligent Multi-Function Charger and Tester in One

Perfect. Not the first one I have owned, CTEK chargers are very good.

Excellent little device, works perfectly.

The only charger I have used for ages. 3 cars and a motorcycle meant one was not enough at times, so...

Ordered in the early hours of Sunday morning, arrived after lunch on Monday! The unit has a mains lead with a UK plug and another lead which ends in a small socket. There are two leads which can be attached to this socket, one with croc clips (as shown in the product photo) and the other with two eyelets, suitable for a permanent installation. There is also a manual and a very useful drawstring bag, which can hold the charger, the cables and the manual. The manual is straightforward, as is the operation of the charger. The charger does get quite warm in operation, so it would be sensible to follow the manual's advice not to place the charger on top of the battery being charged. I haven't tried the alternator test yet but the other functions seem to work as described. I can't yet tell if it has managed to resurrect an old 12v battery from my Prius - time will tell.

I own the ctek 10amp and have used it a couple of times and it did what it said on the box, I bought this 5amp as its a lot kinder on these start stop battetys I still use the 10amp on ordinary batterys and five on stop.start battety to maintain them

So far so good. Bought this after our small run around car wasnt starting, had a flat battery a couple of times and always had to resort to jump starting. So purchased this to give the battery a good charge, and make it a lot more reliable. I took the product out of the box, and unfortunatly the leads to connect to the battery were too short, so i had to remove the battery from the car, which wasnt too bad.. put the battery on charge in the garage on recon mode, and so far so good, its been a cold month, and the car has started every time since charing it. At the moment i have the lesuire battery out of my boat on a maintence charge. Seems to be working well. Since ordering this i found you can order extenstion leads for the charger, so i have purchased one so that next time i dont have to remove the battery from the car to charge it. Update: having had this for a while now I have charged and reconditioned a few batteries (for relatives and friends) I am really impressed with it - since this post I have purchased the extension lead for it which makes life easier - charging without removing the battery!

Bought to keep my TVR battery in top condition. Simple to use & has built in safety function. So good I bought a second unit for my 54 oval Vw .

I very good charger, I used it to charge my stop start battery and although it took a long time, but it did it. It charges at one rate where as other chargers can be set to charge at much higher rate than this one. I think it only charges at 5 amps.

Produto de otima qualidade

I charged two dead car batteries. Very pleased with the product. I had an old charger that didn't work well and eventually died so I was worried this one might not do the trick. But it charged each one well and each vehicle fired up no problem after the charge. One was a Jeep Wrangler and the other a Mazda 3. Each one took over night to charge. Would highly recommend.

Excelente compra con la pandemia tengo 2 autos que casi no se usan y continuamente los tenía que mandar a mi mecánico para cargar las baterías , desde que lo compre ya se pago solo. Carga precisa y muy fácil de usar

Jay Leno talked about this unit on his show and praised it highly, he's a real car guy plus I highly doubt Jay's endorsement could be bought. I plugged mine onto what had been a healthy 12V car battery that tested at only 11.6 volts when resting. Overnight, the charger went through all 8 steps of charge/test and had a green light. Now the battery tests at 12.6v Maybe any other charger would have restored it that well but this thing puts the battery through a lot of steps to improve and insure it's 'health'. Highly recommend. High quality, fast charge, great power, easy to attach, LONG cord, easy to use basically plug'n'play. The instruction manual however, not so great. I viewed some youtubes to make sure I understood the various functions, there are plenty of them, turns out this is a very popular charger for real car guys.

Feels professional and serious. Keeps my porsche in great electrical shape
