CTEK battery charger advice
Discussion
I just got one of these today, heard nothing but good things and want to keep battery charged over winter (car - an LS1 Camaro - is in hibernation now until spring). My question is this: Is it ok to just clip this onto the battery in situ without unplugging anything and leave it for 4 months? The instructions seem to suggest it will be fine doing this, as long as I check early on (in the first day or two) to make sure that the device has entered cycle 7. Never used a CTEK before so thought I would seek the wisdom of this place before going forward. My wish is to leave everything connected so I don't have to deal with a bunch of resets etc. when I next use the car.
Works fine.
I had my first CTEK charger failing this summer in the garage. Outside temps were 38C, inside a tad more. Charger was almost 10 yrs old.
I now got their 5A polar unit. better silicone insulated cables and automatically restarts charging/maintaining after a power interruption, e.g. due to MIL disconnecting the charger to plug in a vacuum cleaner.
