market leader
It works as advertised - and has definitely preserved my batteries over periods of non-use. It's the market leader along with perhaps Noco. My previous mxs 5.0 has proven reliable over at least 5 yrs or so. That does not mean the unit is perfect however. The direct connection to battery fly lead is only 40cm long, fine for cars, but too short to feed through into a convenient location on many bikes, even the cheap Noco genius 1 has a much longer fly lead that doubles as alligator clips to save money (the eyeleted ends of the direct connect flylead screw into the clips) - perhaps this is the better approach if the manufacturer is going to be mean about a few more cms of fly-lead. At this end of the market however, Ctek should properly provision separate leads of sufficient length. Finally, the oft-cited sticky 'mode' button has been an issue - I've often struggled to change from car to bike, but now I have two units that is no longer an issue for me. Most importantly however, it has not failed on me.

Great Charger
Easy of use. Compact and excellent charger.Works great, when charged goes into trickle mode. Use it on Classic car that doesn't get used much. Battery is always ready with no disappointment of being flat..increases battery life. Best charger ever owned!

Best Charger
The CTEC MX5 is the best 12v car battery charger I’ve ever owned. No need to continually check the battery charge you simply connect and forget it. Once the battery has reached full charge the MX5 stops charging & monitors the battery charged state. If the battery capacity drops to about 95% the MX5 cuts back in at a lower amperage, similar to a trickle charger, and bring the battery back up to full capacity before again entering the monitoring stage. It’s a small light compact unit supplied with everything you need although there are some useful accessories available to make it even easier & more convenient to use.

Easy to use lightweight charger.
Using CTEK MXS 5.0 12V MXS5.0 often. Charges up batteries quickly however I tend to do this overnight. It's easy to use when giving your battery a tickle up for good health and longevity of your battery. Downside is that I would prefer bigger writing on the unit corresponding with the provided led lights as to what stage of charge your battery is at. I cut the the piece of cardboard from the box to give me easy reference ie lights and stage where it's at. I would prefer a slightly longer lead on unit.

They work Great and cheap.
I have a 36 volt golf cart ( 6x 6 v batteries ) and the supplied 36v charger will only ever charge the bank of batteries to 12.50volts ( as a couple batteries are used more to run headlights etc ) so by wiring 3 12v 5amp CTEC chargers to 3 banks of 2 batteries using the quick disconnect plugs . After using the refresh cycle now will charge to 13.1 per bank. A great result and a big money saving.
