*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

Making use of the kzfaq.infoUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type

I've owned my ctek 5.0 for 2 years now. Of course never read the manual that came with it and subsequently lost it. Thank you for the excellent explanation on the different modes 👌🤙👏👍

Well done you explain the mode buttons and the use of the combinations most others fail to explain properly the mode buttons.

My Golf that I purchased second hand a few weeks ago had a totally flat battery due to the park light being left on undetected for a few days after the dealer had replaced a blown tail lamp under warranty :( I got one of these chargers and recharged the battery. It took over 24 hours using the AGM and RECON settings. Eventually it was on the trickle charge setting, so seems to have done the job. The only hassle I have is that the ECM seems to have been corrupted and the car is not driving or changing gears (automatic) properly. I am taking it back to the dealer where I got it to be sorted out. But the charger seems to have worked well. Recommended.

Is the CTEK MSX 5.0 the same as the CTEK CT Start/Stop 40-106 Charger?

@johnbower 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting video, But why were you changing the mode button after starting to charge the battery, surely the mode button should have been selected before starting the charge.

I have this on my garaged car specifically for the trickle charge. However it never goes to number 8. Any idea why ?

@nicholaskarassavas5668 3 жыл бұрын

A word of caution, I ride with a group of bikers that no longer use the brand as have had between them 3 Ctek units catch alight and causing significant damage (one of which left his charging unit on his bike seat and ended up burning down his garage along with everything in it), make sure unit is on solid non flammable surface far from any flammable objects.

@7s29 2 жыл бұрын

My guess is they placed it on a surface with oil/fuel for it to catch on. These things get quite hot, so the fault would be with the operator of the charger, and not the unit itself.

What’s the setting for when it’s a new agm battery?

@sAmiZZle82 3 жыл бұрын

I hear you have to be careful whether or not to use the AGM mode as this increases voltage to 14.7v which can be too high for some AGM batteries. So you have to be careful when using this setting even if you have an AGM battery. The standard CAR mode Sports most AGM batteries at a lower charging voltage of 14.4v. Also, RECOND is not recommended for AGM batteries. It is meant for wet cell and Ca/Ca batteries. This will damage your battery! It is stated in the manual but not so clear!!

Thank you for the information,♥️♥️ brother. I have this charger, but I am upset with it. It did not charge me any direct battery. It moves to step 4 after an hour, step 7 and then the charging is complete. But without any result, does the dsulfator feature work or is it just a fake charger?➡️📌➡️📌➡️

Is recon mode ok for sealed and agm batteries ???

@clee6746 2 жыл бұрын

No, surprisingly, you can choose AGM + RECON but it's not for AGM batteries. In the owner's manual, it says AGM + RECON is for Calcium batteries.

Honestly, it cant revive a dead battery. Use it just for maintenance. Sometime it kills a battery too..

@supermassiveblckman 3 жыл бұрын

An amount of useless videos, all the same! Nobody tells what's the temperature compensation function, nobody tells what the recond function and what the difference between the desulfation function (as the instructions say, they are exactly the same), nobody tells if, in low temperatures, the AGM option must be activated, even with lead batteries...
