Increased battery dependence
By looking after and maintaining your battery, while charging them, you prolong their service life and retain their performance.

Without really noticing it, we are living more and more in the midst of different types of battery. The type we probably think about least of all is the lead-acid battery present in vehicles and different types of machines that we use both privately and professionally. Some of these batteries will remain idle for long periods, while others are put under a lot of strain by the equipment installed in the vehicle and are used very frequently without the engine being turned on. This is naturally very taxing for any battery.

In the 1990s, batteries underwent a robust period of development, which introduced a new type of maintenance and care. CTEK developed an entirely new and unique system – 8-stage charging – for today's battery which is used throughout their product range.

This is particularly relevant for people owning seasonal vehicles: race cars, trackday cars, motorcycles, jetskis, motorhomes, caravans and so on, and for people running professional vehicles, workshops, and race teams etc.

Expectations for your vehicle
We have come to rely on everything working properly to ensure we have the maximum time to do everything planned. Therefore, expectations and requirements on all the vehicles around us have increased. Correct battery care can avert many disappointments and problems, particularly when you least want to face them. The right battery charger not only prolongs the service life of your battery, it ensures that the battery can provide the maximum performance for all of this time. With a CTEK battery charger, you can leave your battery connected for months on end and have it ready for it's next use.

Easy and safe
Generally speaking, most people are not particularly interested or knowledgeable when it comes to charging batteries, even though we know it is important. So a battery charger has to be  convenient, simple and safe to connect and use. A CTEK battery charger is small, fully automatic and has smart accessories, making them convenient and simple. They are reverse-polarity and short-circuit proof as well as non-sparking, aimed at safety for any user, irrespective of the vehicle to be connected or the person doing it. The fact that they do not damage sensitive electronic equipment is yet another positive characteristic that makes them simple and practical. Being approved for outdoor use and being extremely durable makes them flexible, practical and correctly designed for safety. That they can then be left unattended for long periods makes them really simple and convenient, in addition to extremely practical.

CTEK battery chargers are suitable for all types of lead-acid batteries: Wet, MF, AGM and Gel.

A CTEK battery charger is not a “booster” or just another ordinary battery charger
Why does it take so long to charge using CTEK compared to other makes? CTEK is not a “booster”. CTEK is a battery charger that looks after and maintains batteries with an entirely unique system that is friendly to batteries and electronics. You can even charge drained batteries. The reason it takes a little more time is just because it handles the battery in the right way.

Why should you buy a CTEK battery charger instead of one that costs half as much and looks virtually the same (even the product description is the same)? CTEK products have a unique system (patented functions) not available in other legal battery chargers that can therefore not offer the same performance. As for “copy” or similar type chargers, it is guaranteed that they will not maintain the same high standards of a CTEK charger. It is impossible to use the quality materials, hire qualified engineers that produce the right product composition, maintain an even and fine level of quality control while at the same time keeping the price down. A "copy" battery charger does not meet the standards and cannot guarantee to be non-sparking, reverse-polarity proof and electronics safe.

There is probably not a single battery charger that can match the price for the same performance and generous warranties while at the same time offering such professional service. This means that you save money and time as you always have a charged battery, your vehicle will always start and you will not need to buy a new battery for many years to come.

WIth a CTEK Battery Charger, you can be sure that you will get the maximum service life from your battery.

CTEK SWEDEN AB designs and develops a unique series of high technology battery chargers and special solutions for all types of lead-acid batteries for both personal and professional use.

The extensive expertise of batteries and electronics is the cornerstone in CTEK’s successful business concept that allows for the development of a new category of battery chargers. CTEK Battery chargers do not only meet the increased needs for battery care of today, but also consider the increasing needs of the growing amount of new users.

Safety, simplicity and flexibility are key words and requirements that apply to all the products and solutions developed and sold by CTEK. Since the start, almost three million battery chargers have been sold in 60 countries and on every continent. CTEK is also a reliable OEM supplier to many of the world's most prestigious automotive and motorcycle manufacturers.

CTEK was founded in 1997 and is a sister company to Creator Teknisk Utveckling AB (leading design and product development consultancy) which was founded in 1982. The knowledge of batteries started already in 1992 when a leading battery manufacturer engaged Creator in the research and development of batteries and then later the research of a new system of battery chargers in order to meet the new needs of battery charging and maintenance requirements of the new generations of batteries. The research and development programme came to an end when an American group acquired the client. Creator understood that this now patented system represented a great opportunity throughout the world. CTEK was then founded to design, develop, manufacture and commercialise its own battery chargers.

CTEK have its own operations in the US and China. Main offices and R&D are located in Vikmanshyttan, Dalarna, Sweden. CTEK and Creator employ about 120 people.

CTEK’s OEM clients - an endorsement of quality and standards

CTEK supply battery chargers to a range of the world’s leading automotive and motorcycle manufacturers. The specific needs also enhance trends towards a broader need and dependence to battery charging, care and maintenance of batteries today.

• High performance and prestige vehicles are very well equipped with electronic (for performance, driver information and comfort) and alarm systems. These systems are very demanding on the vehicles batteries
• Most of these vehicles do not tend to be used the distances or with the frequency necessary to allow sufficient recharging of the car’s battery
• However, the vehicles are delivered for high performance and reliance to a very demanding audience
• While high performance batteries have made major developments, they also demand regular maintenance charging
• Therefore, there is a clear relation between, high performance cars and battery care. But also, sophisticated cars are expensive and they naturally need battery chargers that can live up to their standards and guarantee not harming their electronic systems

Therefore these manufacturers have constantly searched for adequate solutions to reliable battery charging systems guaranteeing the continuity of their hard earned brand reputation.
