MAINTENANCE CHARGING – THE FARMERS’ LIFELINE

IN AGRICULTURE, MAINTENANCE CHARGING IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE, BOTH TO ENSURE THE MACHINES START WHEN YOU NEED THEM MOST AND TO ENSURE THE BATTERIES HAVE A PROLONGED SERVICE LIFE.

Farmers usually own a number of machines to service their farms. However, they are often left idle waiting for the right time to use them, or quite simply until the farmer has finished using another machine. Agricultural vehicles and machines have become increasingly more modern, with more and more electronic equipment taxing the batteries.

Maintenance charging is therefore of the utmost importance, both to ensure the machines start when you need them most and so that the batteries have a prolonged service life, which saves both time and money.

Without maintenance charging, batteries may sometimes be completely discharged between seasons. In this case, acid layers form, making it more difficult to revive the batteries and restore the previous power level.

CTEK’s patented RECOND mode allows you to fix the acid layer problem; the battery can be revived and the power can be restored at the same time. This function is available in the 12V and 24V battery chargers recommended for agriculture.
