Battery Conditioners

Battery Conditioners

During winter months your battery is at the most risk, sudden high current drains on the battery while it is cold and probably a bit weak can quickly drain it and can even shorten it's life. The fact that some cars are stored over long winter periods or even at any time in the year can mean that the battery becomes drained over that period and won't have enough life in it to start the car. Using a battery charger over a sustained period will damage the battery so what is needed is a battery 'conditioner' which will only charge only when it senses the battery needs it. Maintenance pulse charging increases battery life and can charge even drained batteries. The CTEK XS 800 battery conditioner is a very high quality unit and comes delivered with two interchangeable connection leads, one with clamps, and one with eyelet terminals. The conditioner can be connected for months at a time so is ideal for seasonal vehicles. It has a compact design with mounting holes for permanent fixing if required and comes with a 2 year warranty.

The 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.
