C-TECH battery charger

[tony]

Don't wish to bring thoughts of winter, but.....

local, Welland, CTC has C-TECH charger on at $35.
Tag shows as a discontinued item.
So don't know if this means there is a new version coming OR
CTC will no longer be carrying the item.

Several of us have the charger, and it works well, so if you needed
one for the upcoming season....check out your local store.
The price is right !!

Tony,
welland

Excellent price, but wird es in Deutsch zu arbeiten?

Tony, CTC is no longer carrying C-TEK. They are now carrying the Genius line which mimics the C-TEK. Probably a better profit margin for CTC.

So do we need to start a thread on winter storage ?

I just take my battery in the house for the winter. I don't start my car once it's parked and it only takes a few minutes to reset the stereo. everything else seems to be remembered

Rocky,
don't think so; there is a thread from last winter.

Tony,

I keep my cars on battery tenders and take them out for nice runs all Winter when the roads are pretty clean. I even take out the Triumph Spitfire and my wife with the top down when possible (the car has the top down... not my wife)!
Now... my cars are all "drivers" and not show winners.

LOL, David.....

Thanks Tony -- Cheers for looking after the 'pack.

There will be some who don't have one and that price is the best ever.'.

Yeah, and the winter before that....Seems that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

[Shayne]

can't seem to do that in sask. roads usually have 6 in deep ruts. pretty much all winter

Jawohl Wayne, das geht dahin auch, gelaube ich,

 

[FordPrefect]

that's easy for you to say

CTEK Battery Chargers are great for winter storage

Avoid NOCO

CTEK are used by exotic car manufacturers, but they have many models of increasing sophistication and power. As mentioned, CT has now discontinued CTEK (bad move) and now carries NOCO "Genius" chargers which are somewhat similar. I'm working on an written evaluation of the latter, after testing and talking to their customer service several times. Bottom line... "Genius" is marketing BS, and for a winter battery maintainer it does not work as well as the simpler Battery Tender Jr. which is half the price anyway at CT.

Good to know! Thanks for posting your experience!

I usually tried to avoid anything marketed as "genius".
