This is the best charger i had in years for pb accu's!
It repaired an old battery almost as new, with some loss of capacitance. This is not the fault of the charger but from me, i let it too long stay without charge it. It only had 9v... Now it has 12.56v again after charge with this charger!
But nonetheless, one star i take off because ALL the CTEK chargers have one serious flaw!
When you charge a battery with it that is absolutely empty, the CTEK becomes TOO HOT to touch!
Plastic almost begins to melt, so i quickly shut it off before damage occurs.
I did open the charger to cool down with a almost burn smell inside the case.
Now i did install a small ventilator on the case, now it stay cool when it charge an empty battery.
Also put some holes in the case, so air can flow thru it.
Unbelievable that CTEK even did not bother to give the case some ventilation holes!!!
The electronics inside almost get an temperature off 80-90 degrees Celsius with the case closed!
I checked temperature with an Fluke infrared camera.
After 20 minutes charging at FULL rate, you almost can bake an egg on the outside of the case!
That is why many people have a problem with it, that it does not work anymore after some months.
CTEK PLEASE PUT SOME VENTILATION IN YOUR CHARGERS!!
