One thing I noticed about the Ctek is that if the battery is poor that thing will get as hot as a firecracker. In other words if it is just maintaining a good battery all is fine but if it has to work and charge for a long period of time it will get extremely hot.

Yup The maintainers I have all state that they are not for charging dead batteries.
Poor choice of words. When I said week I ment damaged as It charges all my batteries to 100 percent. If it does not the battery should be replaced.

... my follow-up ... this really should be the GM "Corvette" battery maintainer ... Schumacher SPF3 Automatic Extender Maintainer ... get one!
here's one source for you amazon.ca ...
Amazon product ASIN B00752TRP0
you in Calgary ? ... they are about $100 at the Jack Carter GM Parts Counter
"you get what you pay for" and you will swear by this device once you have one ... it scrolls words to tell you what's up (not just a display of lights)
... recommended for high end vehicles & classics ... and can be used for motorbikes, boats, atv and much more (automated for 12v or 6v) and safe

darn it posted before completing ... forgot to mention that the Schumacher SP3 and SPF3 models both have high customer reviews ... but one might not scroll the words!
I have the SPF3 and it scrolls the words .... ok I will get off my soap box now
