    I warmly welcome,
    I am asking for help in making a decision regarding the purchase of a charger for charging aku.
    From many offers I have reviewed, I eliminated the so-called chargers, in my opinion they do not really do their job.
    I searched available offers for the following functions:
    - automatic charging process aku
    - the possibility of leaving the charger for a long time connected to the battery without harming less
    - working out the appropriate electrolyte density / desulfurization
    - device for several years
    - you only need 12V, eye size from 35-100Ah
    Currently, I have two candidates on the eye:
    - Semi MTM 12-15
    - Deca FL1113D
    The anticipated budget is PLN 400- PLN 500
    Of course I am open to any other proposals supported by appropriate arguments.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Ctek MXS 5.0 - I do not know a better one and, in addition, a budget of up to PLN 300
    It meets all requirements, and the IP65 housing.

    I also recommend Ctek MXS 5.0. I have been looking for a long time and hesitated, but now I do not regret.

    Somehow I'm skeptical about this type of devices, i.e. chargers.
    I am asking for some arguments in favor of this choice, I will add that I currently have a Lidl charger and it does not meet my requirements, i.e. aku quite heavily discharged (start-up problem) and this charger ends the charging process in one hour. In my opinion, something here is not working properly.

    You had to buy in a ladybug :D
    Biedronkowa has Recond and to some extent it would recharge your 15.8V 0.8A battery
    And seriously for the amount you want to spend you can buy two new batteries and it will definitely be the best choice, because the current battery is either very sulphated, until the plates are in bad condition. New battery and current charger used every 1-2 months, how little you drive and you have a problem with your head for the next 3-4 years.

    And does this CTEK also support aku gel and agm? Nowhere else did I read about it that it is recommended for lead acid.

    Buddy, as if you were asking yourself a minimum of effort, you would read in the manual that, of course, Ctek MXS 5.0 supports both AGM and gel batteries (page 5 of the manual).


    The charger has 4 programs
    1 to small aku with a 14.4V limit
    2 to normal aku with 14.4V limit
    3 to normal winter mode with a limit of 14.7V
    4 Recond to 15.8V

    Which of these programs will he safely charge the gel battery?

    Page 3 of the instruction (table):
    "A program for regular batteries
    14.4 V / 5 A
    Used for maintenance-free batteries with wet links,
    Ca / Ca, gel batteries and many AGM batteries. "

    The GEL battery is not a regular battery and charging it with a final voltage of 14.4V will damage it.

    It would have to be corrected somewhat.
    Because this is true if the battery works in a buffer mode, but if it is a cyclic job, then Yuasa in his gel batteries gives 14.5V at 20 ° C.
    And -4mV / cell / ° C.
    The inverter chargers are in my opinion ok, but when it comes to the occasional recharging of the battery. If I had a starter battery to recharge more often then I would prefer a rectifier on the transformer.
    But, no charger / charger will make the battery dead start to work like new ;)

    I recommend the thread:

    and many more on the electrode

    Thank you, but the "specialists" there unfortunately do not distinguish the AGM battery from the GEL battery, so it is difficult to learn something from them.

    I am not convinced, on the contrary, after the information I received, I am confused,
    I received info from one of the rectifier manufacturers that the only right purchase is a device with a transformer and a microprocessor

    If you want to charge a maintenance-free Ca / Ca car battery once in a while, you do not need any microprocessors. The simplest transformer rectifier that will recharge the battery with a small current of about 15.5-16V, for PLN 50.

    Personally, I do not trust pulse chargers. I have an old 30 year old Bester who theoretically has only 4 A but due to the fact that he has a fused fuse, he is not terrified of electricity 7-9A. If you have such a budget, send it to check the installation and the alternator and starter in cars because they are largely responsible for the battery's durability. The most expensive charger will not revive an old damaged battery.

    The manufacturer advises transformer because they are the best and the microprocessor, so that you do not burst the batteries tightly closed.

    I bought Ctek MXS 5.0 - and I'm positively surprised.
    I would recommend.

The discussion revolves around selecting a suitable 12V battery charger, specifically comparing the Semi MTM 12-15 and Deca FL1113D models. The user seeks a charger that supports automatic charging, can remain connected without damaging the battery, and is capable of electrolyte density management and desulfurization. Several participants recommend the Ctek MXS 5.0, highlighting its features such as IP65 housing and compatibility with AGM and gel batteries. Concerns are raised about the effectiveness of various chargers, particularly regarding their ability to handle heavily discharged batteries. Some users suggest that a simple transformer rectifier may suffice for occasional use, while others emphasize the importance of checking the battery's condition and the vehicle's electrical system. The conversation also touches on the limitations of pulse chargers and the necessity of understanding the specific requirements for different battery types.
