Can Tire has the CTEK US3300 chargers/maintainers on sale for seven days for $49.99.

 

Good deal. This is the only battery charger/maintainer that you'll ever need.
My John Deere lawn tractor battery would not take a charge over 80% with my Schumacker Electronic charger a couple years ago. Then when I hooked up the Ctek it went through the conditioning cyle and now the battery will charge to 100%. It's also 11 years old now and turns over like new.

 

I just had to mention it didn't I..................replacing the 11 year old battery today. Won't hold a charge.

 

Must be time to change that avatar too, Steve!!

 

Does this mean you don't like it John?

 

No, no ... I DO like it! I'm merely suggesting that the 240 volt label needs to be set to zero until the new battery is installed. ;^)

I think your avatar is "iconic". Don't blame me for this sense of humor ... I caught it from hanging around 180 ....


I hope you are having a great summer!

 

Thanks for the heads up Dave. At $89 it is not worth it IMO, but at $49...sure. FWIW I have been using the older model of their own "Motormaster Intelligent Charger" that sells for $39. I bought one ten years ago and was impressed, so purchased the exact same one for the Crossfire. My '82 Volvo has been using the charger for the last 10yrs. I don't even take the battery out of the car. Just hook up the maintainer in Novemeber and usually disconnect it in March, sometimes as late at April as done this year. Never has damaged a battery or let me down. If you want an alternative maintainer, check out:

Ahhhh..........wasn't sure what you were getting at.

Couldn't find an avatar with 'HIGH VOLTAGE" on it so had to settle for 240.
The new battery was charged up to 15.5V and cranks the tractor over better than new.

Gotta get that cable to you soon!

 

Ive had the CTEK US3300 on my car since ive had it. Its gone through 2 winters soo far and still kickin. I love the fact that you can hard wire the leads it and just plugs in the charger.

Car still has the original battery, knock on wood!
