Getting ready
There are steps you should take before carrying out the process, to ensure your safety and smoothness of the operation.
Make sure the area where you are charging does not have any source of flame, smoke, or sparks. Check for potentially dangerous gas leak from the battery; it will smell like rotten eggs if you sniff around. If you detect any such smell, you should abort directly and invite a professional to take over.
You should also check to see if the battery ports are not corroded. If you see greenish substances on the ports, then corrosion has taken place. You can clean them up with a brush so that the battery won’t take longer than necessary to recharge.
Some general details about battery chargers 12V and 24V
Now that you are ready, we shall look at how chargers work. But first, there are different types of battery chargers 12V and 24V. There are AC/DC chargers, which is the type most of CTEK battery chargers 12V and 24V are, that requires you to plug them into a home socket. If you don’t have a power into the charger, it is more of a jump starter (except for our CS FREE). There are battery chargers 12V and 24V that produce lots of heat inside the battery. They are best used by trained technicians. But CTEK’s AC/DC chargers do not heat up the battery excessively.
Most of our chargers have a gauge that lets you see both the state of the battery and the charging progress. Depending on your needs, you can get a CTEK charger that can have more elaborate safety and monitoring mechanisms built in that alerts you when there is a fault.
