Battery Chargers & Conditioners For Cars

The new OptiMate 4 is new in nearly every way, apart from its well-proven diagnostic and recovery capabilities, which are now even further enhanced. The connectors of the charger output lead as well as the eyelet and clamp leads all feature integral “glide-guides”. These serve 2 purposes – to help weatherproof the cable entries and to hold the connector pins in exactly the right place. This means that there is now no possibility of the pins to becoming mis-aligned, something which was possible in the past and is still the case with competitors’ connectors. Electronic improvements are wide-ranging. Inside the new housing is a completely new electronic circuit board. The new OptiMate 4 is much more efficient than the OptiMate IIISP which it replaces. It delivers 33% more charging power but consumes less electricity, which also means less heat is generated as a result. The enhanced electronic functions are now controlled by a microprocessor, which allows additional stages and monitoring controls as well as an expanded and more precise end-of-programme test for power drain. An improved control panel explains the test results and general operation to the user much more intuitively than previously.

The AccuMate is the sister product to the well established OptiMate battery charger/optimiser, which has a proven reputation with over 30,000 OptiMates sold annually in the UK alone. Like the OptiMate, the AccuMate is designed to automatically charge and monitor batteries with no danger of over-charging regardless of time. The AccuMate is suitable for all 6 and 12V lead acid batteries from 4Ah to 75Ah, making it perfect for owners of older vehicles which are not used on a daily basis. Operation of the AccuMate is completely automatic. It uses a 1.2A constant current charge as the main stage, while monitoring the battery voltage. When this reaches a pre-set cut off point, it then switches to an intermediate constant voltage 'float charge'. Only when the AccuMate has detected that the battery is properly charged, will it switch to the final stage for correct long-term battery maintenance, and indicate a green LED. If at any time the AccuMate detects that the battery has discharged, it will automatically revert to the constant current stage. Lead Lengths From mains plug to unit = 2m From unit to connectors = 2.4m Power usage on maintainance charge:

The CTEK XS 800 easily charges all small batteries. It's perfect for your Motorcycle, Lawn Mower or Jet Ski. The CTEK XS 800 is also an ideal maintenance charger for seasonal vehicles with batteries up to 100Ah. The CTEK XS 800 is delivered with two different battery leads, one with clamps and one with eyelet terminals, all colour coded for easy +/- identification. If the battery is difficult to access, the lead with eyelet terminals can be mounted to the battery, and the quick connectors are located so that it is easily reached for charging. You can also purchase additional leads allowing you to have one lead with eyelet terminals fixed to all your vehicles with batteries that are difficult to get at, and charge them simply from the same charger. Lead Lengths From mains plug to unit = 1.7m From unit to connectors = 1.5m

New in Feb. 2009 - CTEK Comfort Indicator with a 3m extension so you can run it into the car to check the battery condition at a glance. Simply connect the twin 8.4mm eyelets to the battery terminal and one of 3 LEDs will light to tell you if the battery is fine (green), could do with a charge soon (amber) or needs a charge now (red). Very handy indeed ! 'Easy way to tell if your battery needs a charge. Discreet and well made' said AutoExpress (12/2/09)
