BMW Battery Charger - New one - An FYI

CharlieHustleX5 · #1 02-26-2010, 07:47 PM

I picked up the CTEK US3300 a couple years back. I just leave it plugged into the car I dont drive during the week. I like the fact that its programmed to cycle the battery and can be left unmonitored. Never have had a problem since day one.

Just curious, do you use the cigarette lighter or jump start terminals?

I use the CTEK US3300 and have recovered a "black eye" battery indicator to a healthy "green eye". I connect via the battery posts under the hood.

Jump start terminals.

I had used both front and back (trunk) cigarette lighters as well as the jump start terminals. If you want to use the cigarette lighter, you'll need to buy the optional cigarette plug as the CTEK charger doesn't come with one standard.
