Smart Car Battery Charger

[yapoy86]

I'm using CTEK and I don't have to remove the battery connections​. It comes with a clamp that you can connect to the battery terminals. I'm using a permanent connection which is very easy to connect and disconnect from the charger.

I don't know where I've read it but it is recommended to place the negative clamp not directly to the battery but to an unpainted body of the car.

Please refer to the Owner's Manual as your charger might be different from mine.

I think its for safety reason why they suggest to clamp the negative to the car ground..

Connect positive first then negative to ground.. i believe a spark may occur when connecting the clamp.. so if ever that the battery is venting gas, clamping on the negative pole of the battery may cause fire..

Clamp the charger to the battery then plug in the charger.

thanks everyone! The altis I drive is still on its 1st battery but I feel its battery isn't as strong anymore. It is more than 3 years old already and was not used much the 1st year I bought it. I will try charging the battery and if it can extend my battery by 6 months then sulit na since the charger only costs 800+ pesos hehe

Though I’m not using CTEK, I attach directly the alligator clamps to the battery terminals. Nasa owner’s manual naman kasi. Then I plug the smart car charger to the AC outlet [emoji846]

I bought a cheap Foxsur charger online and was just wondering about some things:

Would avoid using a cheap car battery charger ... might end up costing you more ...

[yapoy86]

I have read good reviews on Foxsur chargers.. they have different line up of smart chargers ranging from 3-stage, 7-stage and 11-stage chargers.. i convinced my friend to buy one for testing.. if all is good.. i.might try their 7 stage charger

Yeah, agree...for something you leave behind unmonitored in your pricey precious? I'd buy peace of mind....CTEK & Deltran are proven brands.[emoji4]
