More Info:
The MXS 5.0 comes with automatic temperature compensation for the best charging performance, even in extreme conditions.

The MXS 5.0 is an advanced fully automatic microprocessor controlled battery charger which gives unrivaled performance for lead acid batteries from 1.2-110Ah. It comes with a built-in automatic temperature sensor featuring a unique combination of advanced charging modes, making the new MXS 5.0 the fastest, most effective, and versatile consumer charger, even in the most extreme conditions.

It is the perfect charger for the user with multiple vehicle types and higher demand battery charging and maintenance requirements. The MXS 5.0 offers features such as a special reconditioning function that diagnoses and determines what your battery needs. Restores stratified and deeply discharged batteries, unique maintenance charging, and the charging of demanding AGM batteries (i.e. Optima). The charger is splash and dustproof, designed to protect vehicle electronics and non-sparking, reverse polarity protected, and short-circuit proof. It is delivered with a 5-year warranty. It provides an outstanding charging experience for any of your vehicles!

• Charges batteries up to 110AH
• Maintains larger batteries up to 160AH.
• Fully automatic "connect and forget" 8 step 12V charging
• Smaller battery, normal battery, AGM and Recond programs
• Built in automatic temperature sensing capabilities
• Completely sealed unit
• Spark proof and reverse-polarity protected
• AGM and new EFB (enhanced flooded battery) battery charging capability
• Alligator clamps and eyelets included
• 5-year warranty

Battery Info:
AGM: The AGM lead-acid batteries will be labeled as AGM, or Absorbed Glass Mat, dry cell, sealed regulated valve, non-spillable, or valve-regulated. These are sealed, maintenance free and easy to charge. Many automakers and car owners are adopting the use of AGM batteries for the increased starting demand of modern cars with start/stop feature. These are ideal for higher electricity demand (such as those with larger engines), and are more resilient to being drained. These batteries are designed to perform better in all temperature ranges and are more durable than flooded batteries.
(Examples are: Optima batteries, and Odyssey batteries)
EFB: Your vehicle will only require an EFB (Enhanced Flooded Batteries) battery if it currently has one. For example, vehicles with Stop-Start technology may use one of these batteries. These batteries are meant to tolerate the constant stopping and starting without impacting the battery. While similar to the AGM, it has a longer cycle life. The EFB battery will withstand more cycles of charge and discharge than an AGM before it reaches the end of its useable life.
CA/CA: A calcium battery is a lead acid battery with a calcium component (around 1%) added to both the positive and negative plates. The battery container is fully sealed and maintenance-free. Many modern vehicles use calcium batteries as they are less likely to be affected by extreme weather conditions and higher charge rates.
Wet: Also called Flooded or Conventional, the wet cell batteries are the most common used car battery on the market. Usually flooded batteries are not sealed. Flooded batteries hold very good rates of charge for the price, but require more work.
Gel: The gel-filled lead-acid batteries come with a Geld filled label on the battery. Delicate and needs caution when charging, however NOT commonly used in vehicles.
MF: A maintenance free battery is a sealed battery that is easily identifiable because they do not have filler caps. Most new cars come standard with maintenance free batteries.
(A battery can be one of the above types and MF)

Notes:
This new MXS 5.0 replaces the previous CTEK model "Multi US 4.3" 56-864.
