The Ctek .8 amp is also automatic. And where do I find the US version?

I’ve just ordered one, my Mercedes R129 is a bugger if it loses power. I want to try the 12 volt supply to see if I can move the battery! Hope it will work .

I hope it works for you. Just keep in mind that in power supply mode the cables do have polarity. When just connecting to a battery the cables can go either way around.

CTEK are excellent! I used one on my MX5. Do you remember our unboxing videos of our iPhone 4S??

Haha! Yes, I certainly do! Back when we looked forward to a release from Apple 😒

CS FREE can also auto sense the type of battery you are charging whether AGM, or LFP, or the normal lead-acid battery, etc. The main unique difference between the two is that CS FREE is portable as you can use it anywhere without the need of an AC power outlet. But it cannot bring back to life a completely dead battery as its internal Lithium battery is very limited in power, it is just 6Ah, so for it to charge a completely dead battery such as an AGM 90Ah battery it may take a full day, if at all it can charge it back to life especially if the battery has gone sulfate. So both has almost the same level of pros and cons as far as my personal knowledge of both of them goes. It just depends on your requirement or preference so to speak. If necessary you can always have them both for their different advantages, etc. Regards.

I use a CTEK MXS 5.0 Battery Charger as a portable charger by hooking it up to a 500 WH Lipo 4 portable battery pack (that has an AC plug input) with a CTEK cigarette adapter. Even without the adapter you could still do this. Or you could get a smaller portable power pack. You just need to make sure they have sine wave.

@@V8Adam You're welcome. You could also get a non Lipo4 which is much lighter and have a bigger portable battery to trickle charge for weeks. Only hot sun would be a concern but it could easily be kept in a cool storage case.

I ordered cs one with eyelet m6 bundle cable. How can I connect eyelet m6 with cs one?? Need adapter cable?? Or connect directly??

I am afraid that I do not know about that use. I would suggest contacting C-Tek technical support. They are good but took a while to get back to me.

What does the connection with the phone actually provide? I have Android and I ordered a CS ONE, should I be worried?

It is working well with Android. I had no issues what so ever.
