CTEK connection
CTEK connection
I am going to need to keep the old 4.8is on a CTEK maintenance charger - where is the best place to attach a permanent CTEK lead? Jump point and earth under front bonnet?

Re: CTEK connection
I've attached mine to the battery and chased through to the rear side. Must admit that this is the best thing I've bought, it's a life saver

Re: CTEK connection
I stick mine on the CTEK once a month and use the crocodile clips that came with the kit and use the main power lead connection and earth under the bonnet. I suppose it would be easy enough to hard wire a neat connection.

Re: CTEK connection
Mine is to the jump points under the bonnet (same on all our cars). That way I can trail the charger lead out from under the 'hood' and keep the car securely locked
I use this kit....from that river supplier....CTEK eyelet connector. I also use a couple of 2.5m extensions if the need arises - keeps the charger in the dry.

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
Re: CTEK connection
CTEKs are brilliant, have saved many a battery from early death on our cars........
Will hook up a connector permanently again - thanks for the ideas
