12V/5A
CTEK MXS 5.0
ADVANCED CHARGING WITH
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
The MXS 5.0 is an advanced microprocessor controlled battery charger
with automatic temperature compensation built in providing unrivalled
performance on lead-acid batteries from 1.2Ah up to 110Ah. The MXS 5.0
solves a broad range of battery problems and is the ideal charger for the
user with high demands. Features of the MXS 5.0 include diagnosis of
battery condition to establish if it can receive and retain charge, patented
automatic desulphation step and a special reconditioning step that will
revive and restore deeply discharged and stratified batteries. AGM option
is perfect for maximising performance and life of most Stop-Start batteries.
The built in temperature compensation ensures ideal charging performance
even in the most extreme conditions. Patented Float/Pulse maintenance
makes the MXS 5.0 ideal for long-term maintenance. The entire process of
battery testing, charging and maintenance is easily followed on the clear
LED display.
The MXS 5.0 is a fully automatic "connect and forget" 12V charger with
8 charging steps and offers selectable
, and programmes. The
RECOND and A
GM options operate individually or together in both
and programmes providing great flexibility for the user. Wide charging
range on all lead-acid battery types from 1.2Ah up to110Ah with additional
maintenance capability to 160Ah. Splash proof and dust proof (IP65). The
MXS 5.0 is easy and safe to use, protects vehicle electronics, is spark-free,
reverse polarity protected and short circuit proof. The MXS 5.0 features a
5-year warranty.

1
STEP 1 DESULPHATION
Pulsing voltage removes sulphates from the lead plates of the battery
restoring the battery capacity.
2
STEP 2 SOFT START
Tests if the battery can accept charge. Charging begins if the battery
is OK.
3
STEP 3 BULK
Charging with maximum current until approximately 80% battery
capacity.
4
STEP 4 ABSORPTION, BATTERY READY TO USE
Charging with declining current to maximize up to 100% battery
capacity.
5
STEP 5 ANALYSE
Tests if the battery can hold charge. Batteries that cannot hold charge
may need to be replaced.
6
STEP 6 RECOND
Reconditioning function for deeply discharged batteries.
7
STEP 7 FLOAT, BATTERY FULLY CHARGED
Maintaining the battery voltage at maximum level by providing a
constant voltage charge.
8
STEP 8 PULSE, MAINTENANCE CHARGING
Maintaining the battery at 95–100% capacity. The charger monitors
the battery voltage and gives a pulse when necessary to keep the
battery fully charged.
