I'm looking for info on the best battery tender for my new 2014 XKR.

I have been looking at CTEK Battery Chargers but which one is right for my car?

Thanks

 

Nearly everyone in here will tell you CTEK, so just do that and save a lot of unnecessary back and forth between members

 

Is there a certain model that would be best for my 2014 XKR?

 

Really though, any good Maintainer that has a FLOAT capability along with Recondition and such will be your friend. Do Not get a 'maintainer' without a FLOAT. It isn't worth squat in maintaining a battery over time, but merely to do a one-time charge.
Also be aware that no maintainer of any sort will actually CHARGE a battery, but merely do a top-off and keep it full. You'll need a good 10-20 amp actual CHARGER to charge a battery. AND, with a brand new battery, IT IS NOT FULLY CHARGED! Every 'new' battery needs 12-24 hours on a REAL charger.
There, I preempted a lot of bickering.

 

The most expensive CTEK will probably be the best, and I'm no connesuer when it comes to CTEK, but a 4.3 or whatever it is seems to be very popular and effective.

 

For what it is worth, I just bought the ctek MUS 4.3 and while pricey, it is nice for sure. Seems to do an admirable job

 

Just bought the CTEK MULTI US 7002. I think this should handle the job very nice. Thanks everyone!!

 

I have 3 battery chargers , 1 is the ctek mus 5 which to be fair is ok, bought for me from the kids as a Christmas present , 2nd is a full on 6v -12v charger without the trickle charge element , 3rd and what i use the most is a 14 dollar aldi trickle charger /maintainer from connectivity it tells me the current voltage of the battery . ctek dont do that

 

$118 on Amazon. That's almost as much as a new battery.

 

I have a Schumacher SP1297 on my F150. It does all sorts of stuff also, and it works great.

 

Damn I had no idea that Aldi took $'s, will search for the $80 I've got laying around somewhere and get down there!

Surprised no one's asked OP why they SPEAK WITH BIG FONT?

MXS 5.0 for me and also have a 3.8 as a back up, used CTEK for around 15yrs without issue and never had one fail on me...except when I drove one over a few years back

 

Used Schumacher for 15 years without issue, auto-maintainer along with manual 2 amp and 10 amp mode.

Bought a Battery Tender brand on sale couple years back as I like to leave my Jetski and previous motorcycle hooked up also. Now I mostly use the Battery Tender and rotate it between my Jetski and Jag. The Schumacher is a big beast of a unit so mostly use it for heavy lifting.

 

Buy this CTEK and get a FREE KOENIGSEGG REGERA!

 

Is that a new Jaguar F-Type we don't know about yet?

 

Good Ceejay

 

Lol MarkyUK just thinking of our american cousins by quoting $$$$

 

I have 3 CTEKs.....(2) 3300s and (1) Mus 4.3 I use the 3300s regularly. Have them for 6-10 years, no problems.
