CTEK continues to innovate its products by further supporting the mobile lifestyle of vehicle owners.
Introducing two new intelligent and adaptive chargers is also the manufacturer’s answer to the demand for efficient and convenient charging solutions, particularly car batteries. Moreover, these newly introduced products highlight the brand’s unique adaptive charging technology. The design of these new products is also user-friendly and smarter that there are even no buttons or switch to operate. Connect the charger, leave it and let it do its work.
CTEK CS Free
Introduced first was the world’s first truly portable battery charger. The CS Free features CTEK’s new Adaptive Boost Technology. In just 15 minutes of charging, even a completely discharged battery can juice up enough to start the engine. Its Adaptive Boost Technology enables the charger only to deliver the necessary power requirement, based on its initial and automatic analysis of the battery’s state. The charger will determine the safest way to provide just enough power to start the engine during the process—no more, no less. Unlike typical boosters or jump starters, the CS Free prevents battery shock, thus avoiding damage to the battery or, worse, to the vehicle’s electronics.
At full charge, the CTEK CS Free’s internal battery can last up to one year. That kind of battery life makes it a reliable portable charging device for every vehicle owner on the go. The CS Free’s power output is up to 5A, enough for all types of 12V batteries, including EFB and Lithium. Likewise, the charging device works well with mobile devices supporting USB-C and USB-A charging ports (built into the CS Free).
The CS Free also functions as a maintenance charger when connected to a power source such as an AC outlet, PD charger, and USB-C cable. Even on a 60-watt solar panel (using the optional solar panel charge kit). The main LED display will show the remaining time until the battery reaches full charge status. The best part? Just like any CTEK charger, it protects the battery from overcharging.
CTEK CS One
The CS One is the brand’s 12V adaptive battery charger. It features the unique APTO Adaptive Charging Technology that goes beyond the conventional multi-step charging. In other words, it simply does all the battery analysis for you. Once connected, the CS One evaluates the chemistry, size, and health of the battery. Then the charging device automatically applies the customized charging program required. Further, it detects ambient temperatures and adjusts the corresponding output voltage.
The new CTEK CS One also has a dedicated battery maintenance feature for lead-acid and lithium batteries, making it adaptive and compatible with any vehicle battery. It automatically detects the battery’s bad cells then determines and notifies users if the battery can no longer hold a charge. What is more, the charger features a countdown timer for a completely drained battery’s recovery capacity to crank the engine, as well as remaining time before the battery’s full charge status.
Meanwhile, a new safety feature of the CS One is its Polarity-Free Clamps. Some vehicle owners are unfamiliar with battery polarities. The CS Free takes away this worry. Thanks to the innovative feature, the clamps automatically detect and correct polarity issues internally.
Apart from maintenance charging, the CTEK CS One also features Recond (recondition) Mode for bringing deeply discharged batteries back to life. Another is the Supple Mode that turns the charging device into a 12V power supply. It is ideal for vehicles that are highly electronic requiring heavy supply. Last is the Lithium Wake-up Mode, specifically for lithium batteries with under-voltage protection (UVP). Users can access and unlock these three intelligent features through the dedicated and free CTEK App downloadable via iOS and Android.
The CTEK CS FREE is now available on the official CTEK Philippines e-commerce stores on Lazada LazMall (www.lazada.com.ph/shop/ctek) and Shopee Mall (www.shopee.ph/ctekphilippines). CTEK CS One, on the other hand, will be available soon.
