Charging your battery for a smooth spring start up

Battery charging editorial

Preparing your vehicle for the upcoming spring is a must for every vehicle owner. If your vehicle has been stored all winter, it needs some maintenance to make sure that it’s ready to go as soon as spring comes around.  So how can you best prepare your vehicle for a smooth transition into spring and protect against that frustrating dead battery on the first sunny day of the season?  

You might think of checking your car brakes, oil, tyres and washer fluid but we often overlook the vehicle battery. The battery keeps your vehicle going and deserves some extra love when it’s ready for spring again.  

That’s why CTEK recommends regular charging and maintenance of the battery. By charging your battery you can actually prolong it’s life up to three times! If you charge your battery, you will never have to worry about whether it will be able to start when you take it out for a ride on the first days of spring.  

A smart charger and maintainer like CTEK’s CS ONE can do the job for you. You don’t need to choose a program or push any buttons; you simply connect it to the battery and it will start charging. The CS ONE also has adaptive charging technology, or APTO technology as we call it, which examines what type of battery it is, the battery’s capacity, size and what type of charge it needs – and then delivers the optimum charge to maximise state of charge and performance. It will also tell you how long it will be until the battery is fully charged.  

Tony Zeal, Training Manager at CTEK, said, “CTEK technology means you can leave the charger attached indefinitely without risk of over or undercharging, just hook it up, then come back in the Spring and know your battery is fully maintained and your pride and joy will be ready for action when you are! But if you haven’t had your seasonal vehicle hooked up over the winter storage period now is the time to reach for you battery charger!” 

It's also cost-effective to regularly maintain your vehicle’s battery because even a small drop of charge can have a negative impact on the battery. It can comprise the sensitive electronics which quickly becomes very costly if you need to do any replacements.  

Make sure that your winter-stored seasonal vehicle is ready to start just when you want it to be!
