CTek which one ?

[stewarttownsend]

Im going to get a trickle charger as my neighbour has moved out and selfishly took his Stupid Park off brake thing on, popping up with ABS out and usual electronic warnings for nothing

Which CTek do I need or will do ?

This seems the daddy and the one my neighbour had - ctek mxs 5.0 but is that required ? Im going to get cigarette lighter component as easier to plug in the boot and it works a treat.

I have a 5 amp one too (MXS5.0). They're perfect, the Maserati Branded one is only 0.8 amps so go for it.

Its on its way Joys of Amazon.

Ive also been using the MXS 5.0, for about 18 months now without any problems.

I bought one of those cheap Aldi chargers, 14 quid I think, when I was in the UK last year. It has a LCD display, and I think made by Ctek. Works a dream.

I believe the Aldi one being made by CTEK was a rumour that proved to be false, but plenty of people on various car forums recommend them highly, and they seem to be very reliable either way.

I used a Maserati branded CTEK, but only because it came with my car. From previous threads, there are at least 2 varieties of branded ones as mine has more lights than another members does.

Beside that, my Elise lives on an Oxford Oximiser 900, and I have a 2nd that I've used on cars prior to getting the Maserati. Both still going strong for 6+ years, and not killed a battery so I can recommend them too.

2 x Cteks here, had 8 years and 6 years. Only know issue is the selector button, if your model has it, can get a bit intermittent.

you could well be right, I will check when I get home, but I seem to remember it has CTEK written on it somewhere.

On a GTS so you guys run the normal battery option or AGM battery option mode on the CTEK?

I have 15 MXS 5.0 they do what they say on the tin. Customer service is also good, I have had two go down both replaced free of charge with no quibble, so more than happy to recommend them.

AGM is for a gel battery so unless you have fitted a gel battery use the normal mode.
