CTEK MXS 5.0 Battery Charger
The CTEK MXS 5.0 is a fully automatic, microprocessor-controlled battery charger with integrated, automatic temperature compensation. For charging small and normal-size 12 V standard lead-acid batteries and all maintenance-free gel and AGM batteries (VLRA), from 1.2 Ah to 110 Ah, as used in scooters, motorcycles and cars, for example. Informative LED display enables you to monitor the entire 8-step charging process.
The functions of the MXS 5.0 comprise diagnosis to establish whether the battery is in a fit state to take and hold the charge, a patented automatic desulphation step and a special reconditioning function, which restores stratified and deeply discharged batteries.
The AGM option is ideal for maximising the performance and service life of most start-stop batteries. The built-in temperature compensation operates automatically to adjust the charging voltage according to the ambient temperature, and guarantees optimal charging in extremely cold or hot weather. Patented Float/Pulse maintenance charging makes the MXS 5.0 ideal for long-term battery maintenance.
The entire process of battery testing, charging and maintenance is simple to monitor on the easy-to-read LED display. The MXS 5.0 is splashproof and dustproof (IP65), safe and easy to operate, spark-free, reverse polarity protected and short-circuit-proof.
