The CTEK MXS 5.0 is an 8-stage battery charger that uses a patented charging process to safely and effectively charge batteries. The 8 stages are:
Desulphation: This stage removes sulphate from the battery plates, which can improve the battery's performance and lifespan.
Soft start: This stage gradually increases the charging current to prevent the battery from being damaged.
Bulk: This stage charges the battery at a high current until it is approximately 80% charged.
Absorption: This stage charges the battery at a lower current until it is fully charged.
Analysis: This stage analyzes the battery to determine if it can hold a charge. If the battery cannot hold a charge, it may need to be replaced.
RecondITION: This stage is used to recondition deeply discharged batteries. It increases the charging voltage to create controlled gassing in the battery, which helps to mix the battery acid and restore the battery's capacity.
Float: This stage maintains the battery's voltage at a constant level.
Pulse: This stage is used to maintain the battery at a high state of charge. It sends short pulses of current to the battery to keep it topped off.

CTEK MXS 5.0 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the CTEK MXS 5.0 so lightweight compared to other chargers?
A: CTEK uses advanced microprocessor technology and efficient design to deliver powerful 5A charging in an ultra-compact 1.3 lb package - perfect for portable use without sacrificing performance.
Q: Can I leave the CTEK MXS 5.0 connected permanently?
A: Yes! The MXS 5.0 is designed for long-term connection. After fully charging, it automatically switches to maintenance mode (float/pulse) to keep your battery in peak condition without overcharging.
Q: How does the 0.8A mode differ from the 5A mode?
A: The 0.8A mode is perfect for smaller batteries (under 14Ah) like motorcycles and lawn equipment. The 5A mode charges larger batteries faster and is ideal for cars, trucks, and marine applications.
Q: Will the CTEK MXS 5.0 work with my AGM battery?
A: Yes! The MXS 5.0 has a dedicated AGM mode (14.7V) optimized for AGM batteries, plus it works with all 12V lead-acid types including wet, gel, and maintenance-free batteries.
Q: What's the advantage of temperature compensation?
A: The built-in temperature sensor automatically adjusts charging voltage based on ambient temperature, ensuring optimal charging whether in a hot garage or cold winter conditions - extending battery life.
