CTEK MXS 5.0 Smart Battery Charger
CTEK MXS 5.0 is smarter, better and safer than any other consumer charger yet seen. It includes technology that was previously only available on CTEK's professional range.
The MXS 5.0 charger can solve a broad range of battery-related problems and is the perfect charger for those with high demands. CTEK are a ord leader in battery charger technology supplying chargers to omre than 60 countries and is a supplier to many car and motorcycle manufacturers.
Features on the MXS 5.0 model include:-
- Battery diagnosis that shows if a battery can receive and retain a charge
- Reconditioning function that works hard to restore even 'dead flat', stratified and deeply discharged batteries
- Unique maintenance charging
- A mode for optimised charging during cold winter days
- Charging of demanding AGM batteries (i.e. Optima) and all wet lead acid batteries.
- A unique display that allows users to follow the entire charging process.
- Comfort clips and eyelets for easy connection to your battery on a regular basis are included
The MXS 5.0 is a fully automatic 8-step charger that delivers selectable 0.8A (.8 amp) or 5A (5 amp) current to 12V batteries ranging in size from 1,2ah (amp hour) to a huge 110Ah and is suitable for maintenance charging up to 160Ah. The charger is IP 65 classified (splash and dust proof), designed to protect vehicle electronics and non-sparking, reverse polarity protected and short-circuit proof. It is delivered with a 5-year warranty.
Charging
The MXS 5.0 has a fully automatic, eight step charge
1.Desulphation Desulphation with pulses restores sulphated batteries. This is indicated with a fixed beam during this step.
2.Soft start Starting mode for charging cycle. The start step continues until the battery terminal voltage has risen above the set value, at which time the charging switches to bulk charge. If the terminal voltage has not reached the set level within a set time, the charge is stopped and the charger indicates error mode. The battery is then probably defective or too large.
3.Bulk Main charge until 80% of the charge is complete. The charge is carried out at maximum current charge until the terminal voltage reaches the set level. Bulk charging has a maximum time. The charging then switches to Absorption.
4.Absorption Final part of the charge up to 100%. During this step the charge current falls gradually to ensure the terminal voltage does not get too high. If the maximum time for Absorption is exceeded, the charger switches automatically to maintenance.
5.Analysis Tests the self-discharge. If the self discharge is too high, the charging is interrupted and error mode indicated.
6.Recond Reconditioning of deeply discharged batteries. This step is used to restore deeply discharged open vented batteries. With increased charging voltage over a limited time, the voltage is allowed to rise so that the battery starts to emit gas. As a result you get a mix in the battery that is good both for its capacity and service life. Note that the battery may emit explosive gases during this step. Recond takes place between the analysis and maintenance steps. When choosing the Recond-mode, the charger will first charge your battery up to full-charged. When this is done the charger will start the Recond and the upper Recond-lamp will lit. The charger reconditions the battery between 30 min and 4 hours depending on the need of the battery. Once the recond is done, the charger will switch into maintenance-mode (green light for fully charged). The bottom Recond-lamp will still be on as a reminder that you have chosen the Recond.
7.Maintenance charge – Float Charging with constant voltage.
8.Maintenance charge – Pulse The state of charge varies between 95% and 100%. The battery receives a pulse when the voltage has dropped to a predefined level. This keeps the battery in trim when not in use. The charger could be connected for months at a time. Check the water level in the battery if possible. The charger measures the terminal voltage continuously to determine whether a charge pulse should be started. If the battery is loaded and/or the terminal voltage drops, the charger starts a charge pulse so that the terminal voltage rises to the set level. The charge pulse is then finished and the cycle is restarted. If the terminal voltage drops even lower, the charger automatically reverts to the beginning of the charge cycle.
Using the MULTI XS 4003 gives your battery an optimum service life and operational reliability
Batteries
The MULTI XS 4003 model offer several alternative settings to suit specific charging needs and required functionality. The following recommendations should only be regarded as guidelines. Please observe the battery manufacturer recommendations in the event of uncertainty. Settings are made by pressing the “MODE-button” and stepping forward one press at a time until the required mode is reached, the button is then released. After about two seconds the charger activates the selected mode. The selected mode setting will be restored next time the charger is connected.

) Back current drain is the current that drains the battery if the charger is not connected to the mains. CTEK chargers has a very low back current.
) The quality of the charging voltage and charging current is very important. A high current ripple heats up the battery which has an aging effect on the positive electrode. High voltage ripple could harm other equipment that is connected to the battery. CTEK battery chargers produce very clean voltage and current with low ripple.
Safety
•The charger is designed for charging 12V lead-acid batteries. Do not use the charger for any other purpose.
•Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse straight away with water if acid comes into contact with skin or eyes, and seek immediate medical advice.
•Ensure that the cabling does not jam or comes into contact with hot surfaces or sharp edges.
•A battery being charged could emit explosive gasses, which is why it is important to prevent sparks close to the battery. When batteries are reaching the end of their lifecycle internal sparks may occur.
•Always provide for proper ventilation during charging.
•Avoid covering the charger.
•Ensure that the mains cable is not exposed to water.
•Never charge a frozen battery.
•Never charge a damaged battery.
•Never place the charger on top of the battery when charging.
•Connection to the mains supply must be in accordance with the national regulations for electrical installations.
•Check the charger cables prior to use. Ensure that no cracks have occurred in the cables or in the bend protection. A charger with damaged cables must not be used.
•Always check that the charger has switched to maintenance charging mode before leaving the charger unattended and connected for long periods. If the charger has not switched to maintenance charging within 72 hours, this is an indication of an error. In such cases the charger must be disconnected manually.
•All batteries fail sooner or later. A battery that fails during charging is normally taken care of by the chargers advanced control, but some rare errors in the battery could still exist. Don’t leave any battery unattended for a longer period of time.
•This appliance is not designed for use by young children or people who cannot read or understand the manual unless they are under the supervision of a responsible person to ensure that they can use the battery charger safely. Store and use the battery charger out of the reach of children, and ensure that children cannot play with the charger.
•Batteries consume water during use and charging. For batteries where water can be added, the water level should be checked regularly. If the water level is low add distilled water.
