When I hooked it up, the battery was listed at 2, pretty weak, it took 24 hours to fully charge and I could tell the difference right away. Week later, battery dies again as I haven't driven it in over a week, I decided it was time to replace the battery but, good to have this in the event one of my other cars needs a charge.

A few things: - If you have a BMW, there's a good chance you have an AGM battery. In this case, you will want to use the "winter" setting. - If you use the "recondition" option, you should disconnect the battery from your car, and plug your charger directly to battery or you might do some damage to your car's electronics.

It's NOT a trickle charger. It's a SMART charger. It's an intelligent charger using proprietary algorithims. When the battery is fully charged, it knows when to 'float' the battery with a harmless pulse charge. Big difference from a 'dumb' old trickle charger that never stops charging.

@dorotheep.693 5 жыл бұрын

I live in WI also, and am already experiencing battery problems with my BMW 3-series because I am not a daily/frequent driver. I bought a pocket jump-charger, which works great to turn the engine over when the battery fades (won't work if battery is completely dead though), but honestly, would rather have a smart charger on the car all the time so it's ready when I am. Instead of having to jump the car before I head out. Also, I'd feel better if the car battery was ready to go in case of emergency. I bought a Genius Smart/Trickle charger, but haven't hooked it up yet, still figuring out how to hook up the charger in the front/engine as opposed to the trunk/battery. I read the manual and it seems like you can leave it hooked up 'indefinitely' since it'll stop charging when there's 'nothing to charge' (fully charged). But if you left your car outside, even under a cover, I think you'd have moisture problems. Maybe someone could remove your battery from your car so you could put it inside the house for the many months you don't use it? I would do that if I knew how.

@mestizoboy 5 жыл бұрын

CTEK makes a specific "extreme conditions" version of this charger: CTEK (56-958) MUS 4.3 POLAR It's pretty much the same charger, with design changes to make it more reliable in temps down to -22°F/-30°C, but I think the only difference is hardier cables. If you have the regular MUS 4.3, it should be fine as long as it's off the outside ground and under the hood (protected from direct elements).

Go AGM, lithium is not worth the 3x upcharge. I would recommend something that has the longest replacement warranty (not pro rata). I personally have Odyssey Battery, but if I were recommending an AGM to a non-car person I would recommend them get the nicest Interstate battery or nicest AGM (that matches their car) from a convenient car / car battery brick and mortar store. I don't see the value in buying online (hassle if you have an issue), or driving like an hour to get a certain brand.

@windward2818 2 жыл бұрын

To fully charge a battery it is best to bring it up to 20 degrees C if done in vehicle. Charging lead acid batteries is not usually done below -20 degrees C. At -30 degrees C the recommended lead acid charge voltage per cell is around 2.6 Volts or 15.6 Volts total. Which is high for charging in-vehicle. If the battery is charged stand-alone you can use a high current charger at an elevated terminal voltage which will heat up the battery. As it warms it can accept more charge. For example a 100Ah starting battery at low temperatures 30% SOC could readily take a charge current of 20 Amps (0.2 C rate) during the bulk phase. The CTEK cannot deliver that kind of current. At 20 degrees C the recommended max voltage is 2.45 Volts or 14.7 Volts total. Which would makes more sense for not overvolting the 12V bus if the battery is charged at the battery on the vehicle side of the BMS current sensor. Charging batteries at very low temperatures is not an easy task in-vehicle.

@gregoryjaidee2999 5 жыл бұрын

When your BMW is fully charged do you unhook the battery charger? My wife told me to unhook mine when it was fully charged.

@mestizoboy 5 жыл бұрын

That CTEK charger is automatic. It will stop charging when the battery is fully charged, and it will auto-test the battery every 10 days, then top up the charge as needed. -So, you *must* leave the charger plugged in for this feature.

@windward2818 2 жыл бұрын

I cannot find a CTEK 4.3 user manual, but if you read the CT5 Time To Go user manual it shows charging at the battery just on the other side of the BMS current sensor if done in-vehicle. It has no reference regarding the use of underhood jump start terminals (posts). What I have learned is that you should actually understand what a charger is doing in normal operation in regards to voltage and current before using it on an expensive vehicle, especially remotely from the under hood terminals. Battery charger claims of being smart or supplying a certain amount of controlled current are greatly exagerrated. Many times switching voltage control is used rather than linear control because it relies on the battery as a kind of filter, which may be appropriete if the battery is charged stand-alone (out-of-vehicle).

LI ION BATTERIS: in winter, when cold, plug at the battery works best, get 7-9 years. CTEK knows for AGM batteries not to flood, and -16 to -40C, ONLY REAR spools the battery to start charging. Front is best for top up, indoors, summer. Outside REAR is best, in the cold. LI IONS DO NOT charge below -15C, so spooling is key (as tesla owners learned..). So plug upfront -20C outside, GOOD LUCK. IBS will be confused to say the least and the Li ion battery will declare charged even if not.

I was under the impression that best to leave BMW's locked up so the modules can power down properly.

Yes, correct best way is to keep them locked

Fish it though for what? Where is the battery located. Auto Zone checks batteries for free.

Charge ports are under the hood as seen - you can fish it through the top of my the hood so you can close the hood

Arthur Smith the battery is in the trunk of the car, I would not recommend letting anyone other than BMW service anywhere near it though

The permanent eyelt connector is for applications where the batteries are in a tight spot and it’s difficult to get alligator clips on there for instance underneath motorbike seats tractor seats some vans have the battery under the seat in the drivers area.......whatever then you can use a remote connector These are bloody good charges I actually prefer 0.8 amp it’s half the price of the 5 amp and most of the time batteries are not dead flat they just need topping up so over weekend the 0.8A is sufficient...... plus if you have an expensive car it’s just that extra layer of insurance that you won’t damage any electronics because 0.8 A is way too low to cause any problems..... And finally I have a personal view that a lower slower charge as best I hook up my car Friday night Monday morning on the 0.8 amp it’s ready to go.....

So are you pretty much saying I'll never have to buy another battery again?

2snayls I've seen that it's been able to reconditioned some pretty dead batteries, so would need to test that theory

Any battery will eventually wear out and drop a cell when that happens it's time for a new one but this charger will prolong that inevitability.

This is a bit misleading. Battery charger connections are the same for all vehicles, regardless of make. Ain't nuthin' special 'bout BMWs.

No their not, how many other vehicles have their batteries in the trunk of the car? Or need to be “registered”, etc. etc. There is in face a BIG difference between a BMW battery and other cars. Maybe if you owned one you would know that

@tempest411 6 жыл бұрын

I do own one, and it's the same as any other car as far as charging. Positive to positive, negative to negative, DONE! That battery registration stuff is a bunch of techno-silliness I think a lot of us wouldn't miss if they left it out.

Hahahaha and then dumb people like you say: “BMW’s are not that good, they always broke, always whit failure sensors, always @ the shop” “is better a MAZDA” hahahaha just follow the fucking instructions they do exist for a reason ... that’s the problem when you just think it’s another car what’s the difference ?? 🤦🏻‍♂️
