Ctek 12v lithium us smart charger 4.3 a

Q: Which CTEK charger is best?

The CS ONE is without doubt the smartest charger weve ever made! Its the only charger in the world with fully adaptive APTOTM charging technology and its the smart choice for drivers looking to keep their car battery in optimum health, offering peace of mind not just for winter, but all year round.

Q: Does a 12V lithium battery need a special charger?

There is no need to replace your existing charger(s) youve been using on a lead acid battery and upgrade to lithium battery chargers. A lead acid charger will do the job.

The operation is simple and charging will commence upon connection. With no need to disconnect the battery from the vehicle, at charge start the LITHIUM US will automatically reset any low voltage protection electronics (Battery Management System) fitted. Charging can be restarted manually at any time using the ‘Reset’ button.

8 STEP PROGRAM:

Accept: Tests if the battery can accept charge. This step prevents that charging proceeds with a defect battery.
Bulk: Charging with maximum current until approximately 90% battery capacity.
Absorption: Charging with declining current to maximize up to 95% battery capacity.
Analyze: Tests if the battery can hold charge. Batteries that can not hold charge may need to be replaced.
Completion: Final charge with reduced current.
Maximization: Final charge with maximum voltage up to 100% battery capacity.
Float: Maintaining the battery voltage at maximum level by providing a constant voltage charge.
Pulse: Maintaining the battery at 95-100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery voltage and gives a pulse when necessary to keep the battery fully charged.
