I use Ctek battery chargers. Automatic shut off when full. Get one with a reconditioning function & winter mode.
Pros: automatic shut off, reconditioning function
Vehicle:
Mazda 323
Just for grins, I plugged the CTEK in overnight and by the next morning, it fired right up.
Pros: fired right up
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
I had the same thing with my CTEK connector (although I put mine on the starter battery since the other panel is simple to open), but instead of forcing off the nuts, I just clipped a piece out of the CTEK ring connector. In retrospect, I wouldn't have bothered with the CTEK charger at all, my old Schumacher charger is just as good
Pros: charger is just as good
Cons: vehicle supply useless
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
Mine s CTEK MUS 4.3... I did not use this to charge Phaeton AGM battery. I used it on a Group 49 regular battery and that was very hot. I figured that if the charger is smart, it would self regulate the charging rate... but seems like full power for hours.
Pros: smart charger
Cons: gets very hot
I know everyone uses CTEK... I have one myself too (I got tons of electronic battery chargers)... I got the 4.3 version and I used it to charge a battery that was a bit low but still has 12.0V charge... in a couple of hours, the charger was so hot that I discontinued using it on car battery for any heavy duty charging purpose.
Pros: good for topping up
Cons: gets too hot
On the 3.2 A3 i fitted a quick disconnect to the battery, refitted the 6 million bolts on the battery plate and now i can connect and disconnect the charger in seconds. I use a CTEK XS 4003 Had the A3 for around 6 months now and it's on charge at least 2 days a week, no problems so far.
Pros: no problems so far
Vehicle:
Audi A3
Part number: XS 4003
I have one of these on each of my cars. CTEK 7002
Vehicle:
Porsche
Part number: 7002
I use a CTEK 3300. I've had no issues with it for the past 3 years.
Pros: no issues
