For general battery maintenance, Ctek is anything but rubbish! I have been using a Ctek MXS 7.0 for many years now via the proper jumper points and this has saved my butt many times over with old dying batteries! On my E90 and another vehicle of mine, I have the Ctek CTX Battery Sense fitted which is super convenient and easy to keep track of battery state of charge remotely via my smartphone. I get that while my Ctek MXS 7.0 and other chargers in their range (and other brands) do have various modes and a "supply" mode, this will most definitely not be adequate to power the car's electronics in a stable manner for programming, no argument there, but to say that these charges are rubbish especially when used incorrectly isn't fair. The BMW charger (or tender) is a Ctek product, and just about every BMW dealership has tons of them plugged into their showroom cars. Maybe a good idea is to change your video title to specify "not to be used during programming"...

@tonymontana897 11 месяцев назад

I agree. I have been using C-Teks all over my garage. Everything here that has a battery has a C-Tek. The Battery in my E36 M3 lasted 12 years because of the humble C-Tek MKS5.0. I think ole mate here is rubbishing the C-Tek is because some are using them to keep the battery juiced while programming. I only use the C-Tek chargers for the purpose it was designed for. I have no interest in programming so that will never be an issue for me.

@shrekogre1010 3 года назад

The title is misleading! Although Dean is right, the title should have read "Do not use CTEK charger for programming". CTEK chargers still do a great job providing a trickle feed especially in times like the present where we hardly drive our cars.

As for programming uses I think that is another issue and the BMW Doctor has mixed up terms and uses....

@jaymase3735 3 года назад

What are your suggestion for simply maintaining proper voltage on these batteries? I am not programming or anything, just attempting to safely keep the battery as close to the 14.2V when running, as possible. If I have to leave the car for a while or in severe weather, what type of trickle charger is okay? A 5 amp battery tender should be okay, correct? I know to connect it from the front terminals.

@MrFredscrap 4 года назад

So it's basically a high output adjustable DC power supply set to running @ 14.2V and crucially 120A. given average battery chargers run on 10A max, you can see where it can go wrong. CTEK does have a 120A capable power supply, but that cost as much as that voltage regulator thingy, so it's a bit of a moot point.

@matthewstrange3778 4 года назад

What difference is there between connecting the voltage stabilizer to the connections under the bonnet vs directly on the battery terminals? The connections under the bonnet connect directly to the battery terminals anyway so they're not isolated from the ibs terminal. It shouldn't make any difference where you connect the stabilizer as long as it's +/- correct polarity. Could you please explain the difference in more detail as the connections under the bonnet are for convenience on a lot of vehicles and the safety aspect regarding sparks/ignition of battery gas/vapours when connecting jump leads etc. My battery is located under the passenger seat which is awkward for jump starting.

The CTEK to me sounded weird and don’t understand why you need to open the battery when you can use the plugs under the engine hood, because when BMW charges your car they plug cables either from sort of generator or a wire dropped from above (seems like your method but 100kg heavier).

@stuckinnj9554 3 года назад

Marko Susac absolutely, these are float chargers not battery maintainers. What’s, the difference, a float charger is designed to charge, discharge and charge a battery during storage or low use. Typically at 1.5 to 2 amp. A maintainer is designed to ‘maintain’ the battery at 13.6 to 14v during software download or showroom use - these are the 2 most common uses. If your battery is ‘dead’, then you need a battery charger to bring the battery back up to serviceable volt. And yes, BMW as well as other manufactures have partnered with CTEK to private label their battery float charger for the designed purpose. So don’t blame the OE, look into the mirror the fault typically lies with the user. IMHO and informed opinion

@rotorblade9508 4 года назад

When coding obviously the carger is low power, but for jumpstart whether you connect the rear or the front terminals it should work. If connecting directly to the battery there will be a voltage increase at the terminals from say 10V (dead batery) to 12.5V or if the other car is running to 14.4V. The 12.5V is as if the battery was charges so what’s the problem? Also with 14.4V the high amp cables lead directly to the front I suppose so it’s the same thing, except there will be less power loss if connecting the front terminals because the circuit leads directly to the starter so a slightly higher peak current

@BMWDoctor 4 года назад

There you go you have it in one Herman engineering at its best the reason they have them ports at the front is simply to get the power to the car quickly and safely incase or jumping with no damage done to the car ALSO for programming to not overload the circuit

Where I live, a BMW branded charger from the dealer costs twice as much as the CTEK equivalent. Would you justify the purchase of a BMW one in my case? I'm convinced the internals are the same. It will not be used for programming, just occasional charging.

If you are going to use it JUST for charging then buy this product otherwise do not even think about programming with it CTEK is aload of crap the BMW one is the proper one

Anders Hellquist my friend read your CTEK reviews look up bmw battery charger reviews that explains it all in detail Also the video was merely to show NOT TO USE a battery charger while programming as you have a lot of people influencing people the wrong way when I’m the boss and godfather of this stuff and then there copying me thinking they know whats good and what they should be using If you know me well bro I call anyone out and if I have a problem I deal with it mate you guys knows that about me already many don’t like it and get scared off as many don’t like confrontation but I’m the opposite the same as I am here is the way I am in real life when I have a problem with someone I call them out and go meet them to see what’s up and the problem with me

CTEK chargers internals are the same as the vehicle branded ones. CTEK is offering it as a white label product to premium car manufacturers. Only difference is the sticker. I've been using the CTEK mxt 40 on my BMW 535i for 5 years now on AGM setting using the correct hood terminals & my battery condition is 85%. (Maybe lucky..:) Totally agree that it should not be used in programming. Even though the mxt40 has a supply function for just changing the battery, it might not sustain the power draw of programming.

Ahmed Yousry That’s clear despite what this idiot Ali G is prattling on about... the BMW one is clearly an adapted rebranded CTEK which he says is crap. Confusing nonsense.. blah blah blah....

How's it going mate, i've replaced my 95ah battery with a 100ah one, it was originally set up as 90ah. I've read half people suggest a 100ah battery should be set up as 90ah, whilst the other half suggests 110ah. I spoke to someone else and they said 110ah, what would you recommend setting up a 100ah battery up as on a BMW E60, 90ah or 110ah?

@ThePucko97 4 года назад

Honestly doesn't matter. Batteries (and electronic copmonents in general) is within 5% of spec so it doesn't matter that much.However it's better that the BMW thinks it is a 90ah than 110ah because of overcharge and temps.

So I should connect it right to the battery and then I’ll be ready to program. 🏎😎

I would love to know where to get one of these voltage regulators, can only find chinese sellers on ebay.

@WthaHatchet 3 года назад

Hate to tell you but thats just a Ctek charger with a BMW badge slapped on it. There is no difference. Take the cover off and you'll see. Otherwise good information. Always charge your battery to tip top before programming and use a voltage stabilizer.

@velocgee2874 2 года назад

@WthaHatchet...yep and it looks exactly the same as the Porsche branded battery conditioner..cos they’re all CTEK. Don’t think appropriate calling CTEK rubbish because a) believe pretty it is pretty much industry standard b) video is referencing its unsuitability for a highly technical process I doubt the product is intended for.
