CTEK retains top spot at Auto Express Awards 2011

CTEK, a leading global brand in the care and maintenance of vehicle batteries, is celebrating after taking home the Auto Express ‘Best Battery Charger’ award for the third year running.

Recognised for its build quality and Battery Charging and maintenance features the CTEK MXS 3.6 beat off stiff competition to retain its crown. Held in Birmingham, the Auto Express Awards are the most prestigious in the automotive calendar with companies attending from around Europe.

Peter White, UK Sales and Marketing Manager, CTEK commented: “This year we have seen an influx of new entries into this category and we are absolutely delighted to win this highly prestigious accolade once again. The award is testament to the unique multi-stage charging characteristics of the product that are incorporated across our entire range of smart chargers.”

He continued “Lead-acid batteries are becoming ever-more advanced and sensitive, being used more frequently and under more demanding conditions than ever before. As a result, Battery Maintenance is a fast growing issue, particularly as life expectancy drops rapidly due to inadequate maintenance.”

The CTEK MXS 3.6 charges, conditions and maintains all types of 12V lead-acid batteries including maintenance free types and all chemistries including Wet, Calcium, GEL and AGM. As well as offering a diagnostic function to determine whether a battery can not only take but retain a charge, the Multi MXS 3.6 removes harmful lead-sulphate from the plates using its patented desulphation mode before commencing its charging cycle. Not only does this condition the battery, extending its life, but also allows for a charge to the accepted more efficiently.

As with all CTEK Battery Chargers, the MXS 3.6 can be left attached to the battery for days, weeks or even months at a time with no risk of over or undercharging. The MXS 3.6 is fully automatic, foolproof to connect, spark proof and reverse-polarity protected, for user safety.
