For the first time I am getting ready to store my 2015 F-Type and realized I hadn't bought a tender yet. I am familiar with the connection procedure, but there are a lot of versions of the CTEK chargers. What am I looking for and which model is everyone buying?

 

I like the Multi US 7002

 

This is the one I use on all my Jags and Astons.


The MXS 5.0 offers a unique eight step approach to battery care. Fully automatic microprocessor controlled charger with built-in automatic temperature sensor features a unique combination of advanced charging modes and makes the new MXS 5.0 the fastest, most effective and versatile consumer charger CTEK has ever made. The MXS 5.0 features capabilities for improved charging in all weather. It is the perfect charger for the user with multiple vehicle types and higher demand battery charging and maintenance requirements. Provides an outstanding charging experience!

 

Another vote for the MXS 5.0 from me.

 

I also use this model for my F-Type because it has an AGM charging program for the type of battery in these cars...but otherwise any of the 12volt CTEK units, including the least expensive (which is the one that every luxury car manufacturer markets under its own name, including Jaguar) works just fine and reaches the same goal - a fully-charged battery, always. And the result of a fully-charged battery is a complete absence of electrical/electronic gremlins. Getting people to understand this is hard work, especially because the symptoms of lower-than-optimal voltage are random.

 

I got the Multi US25000 because you can use in in 25 amp power supply mode when flashing the ECU.

 

I have the MUS 4.3

 

Another vote for the MXS 5, primarily because it has the capability to charge AGM batteries. I have mine mounted on an outside wall and plugged into the car. I haven't had any problems in two years of ownership.

 

Thanks guys... Very helpful.

 

I have this same one on the Jag. I also have a bunch of these CTEK MULTI US 3300, they all work very well.
