Hi,
Does anyone own one of these popular battery chargers (CTEK MXS 5.0)? I recently purchased one and used it today, but after about 3 hours of having it on charge I went to check it and when I touched the unit it was VERY hot.
It was soo hot that I decided to switch it off rather than run it...
Best price it's been for a while...

Excellent bit of kit and the recon once a year function really helps keeping the convenience functions message away.
On offer for the next 6 hours @Amazon for prime members, half an hour later for non prime members

Good reviews and recommended by virtually all owners/reviews
Bargain price. This unit is much better than the Lidl one.

Looks like a reasonable deal. Says it's one day only offer, then they often do ;)
Just bought a CTEK MXS 5 battery charger for my SLK 200 0n a 55 plate. it's garaged ove winter and the battery tends to run down when the car isn't used. the instructions with the CTEK do not say to remove the vent caps on the battery while the battery is charged. I've seen several posts...
