Then you know the\n  drill: you finally have time to take it out, hit the key, and the battery's stone dead. A car that sits\n  slowly drains its own battery, and every time one sits flat it loses a little life for good. The CTEK MXS\n  5.0 puts a stop to that. Hook it up and leave it connected, and it keeps your battery topped off and healthy\n  so your ride fires up the moment you want it, and it can even bring a tired, run-down battery back from the\n  brink.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy You Want One On Anything That Sits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Here's the deal with batteries. Leave one sitting and it self-discharges, and a battery that sits low starts\n  sulfating, which is what quietly kills it long before its time. That's why the battery in your seasonal or\n  project car always seems to die way sooner than it should. The MXS 5.0 fixes that two ways. Its smart\n  maintenance mode keeps the battery perfectly charged for as long as you leave it plugged in, so you can walk\n  away for weeks or months and come back to a car that starts right up. And its reconditioning mode actually\n  reverses some of that damage, reviving stratified and deeply discharged batteries you might've written off.\n  It'll even start charging a battery drained all the way down to 2 volts, which most chargers won't touch.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSmart Enough To Leave Connected\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  This isn't a dumb trickle charger you have to babysit. The MXS 5.0 runs a fully automatic 8-step charging\n  program, so it reads your battery and delivers exactly what it needs at each stage, then holds it there\n  without ever overcharging. It's got a built-in temperature sensor too, so it adjusts the charge for the\n  weather, whether your garage is freezing in January or baking in July, it charges right either way. Bottom\n  line, you can connect it and forget it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSafe For Your Car And You\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  CTEK built this to protect both your vehicle and yourself. It puts out clean, steady voltage and current,\n  so it's safe for sensitive vehicle electronics, and it's spark-proof, reverse-polarity protected, and\n  short-circuit proof, so a wrong-way clamp or a bumped lead won't fry anything or throw a spark. The whole\n  unit is sealed to IP65, meaning it shrugs off dust and splashes, so it holds up in a real garage instead of\n  a clean lab.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWorks With Your Batteries (Lead-Acid)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The MXS 5.0 handles all the common 12V lead-acid battery types, WET (flooded), MF, Ca\/Ca, GEL, EFB, and\n  AGM, including demanding AGM batteries like Optima. It charges batteries up to 110Ah and maintains larger\n  ones up to 160Ah, so it covers everything from a motorcycle battery to most car and light-truck batteries.\n  One thing to know before you buy: this is a lead-acid charger, so it's not for lithium (LiFePO4) batteries.\n  If you're running a lithium battery, you'll want a lithium-capable CTEK instead.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eClamps And Eyelets, Both Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Nice touch here: it comes with both alligator clamps and eyelet (ring terminal) connectors. Use the clamps\n  for a quick hookup, or bolt the eyelet lead right onto your battery and tuck it somewhere handy, then you\n  just plug the charger in whenever the car's parked. For a car that sits a lot, leaving that pigtail on makes\n  topping it off effortless.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCTEK, And Backed For 5 Years\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  CTEK is about as trusted as it gets in battery charging, they're an OEM supplier to names like Porsche and\n  Ferrari, and the MXS 5.0 is one of the best-selling chargers in the world for a reason. It's backed by a\n  5-year warranty, so it's built to be a buy-it-once piece of gear that lives in your garage for the long\n  haul.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCTEK MXS 5.0 12V battery charger and maintainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully automatic 8-step charging program\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReconditioning mode to revive stratified or deeply discharged batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in temperature compensation for all-weather charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharges up to 110Ah, maintains up to 160Ah\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor 12V lead-acid batteries (WET, MF, Ca\/Ca, GEL, EFB, AGM), not lithium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClean current, spark-proof, reverse-polarity and short-circuit protected\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP65 sealed against dust and splashes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes alligator clamps and eyelet connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Note: CTEK MXS 5.0 fully automatic 12V battery charger and maintainer with an 8-step charging program and\n  built-in temperature compensation for reliable charging in any weather.
