    @OP, can you share the link of the $1.95 item you added too?

    • AdamFury on 24/08/2020 - 21:14

      Any idea why it didn't charge your bikes battery?

    • Nutrino on 24/08/2020 - 21:18

      Maybe the 5A is too high a charge rate. Or charger is only designed for lead acid batteries.

    • Bargain4Days on 24/08/2020 - 21:53

      Yes, different voltage, lithium batteries in bikes are normally run in series parallel, voltage should be between 30 to 45 volts depending on capacity and arrangement of lithium ion.

    • Sazzar83 on 25/08/2020 - 06:10

      Dumb question but would this charge a marine battery for a boat?

        As long as it is 12v, then yes.

      • CereaL on 24/08/2020 - 23:05

        so what happens with your bike? like do the cables stick out of the battery holder and you just hide them away until you plug it in to charge?

        • 0123456789876543210 on 24/08/2020 - 23:12

          I anticipate being able to tuck the cables inside the bodywork and have the connector accessible by removing the rear seat/cover (which is done with the key).

        For people with factory car alarm systems that disable the ecu if the battery is disconnected or runs low, then needing a tow to the dealership and unlocking, $99 is good value.

    I feel like for that kind of money a jump starter would be a more versatile solution https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/557285

    • Micksy on 24/08/2020 - 22:26
      +7

      If you get to the point that you need a jumpstarter you're damaging your batteries.

    • zeomega on 24/08/2020 - 22:33

      Jump starters don't perform equalisation charging either to recover/recondition the battery.

    • SuperScope on 24/08/2020 - 23:05

      You can lengthen the life of your battery by charging it (especially during low use periods), whereas a jump starter will just get enough charge in your battery for it to turn over and it will not restore or recondition your battery.

    • Brodo Faggins on 24/08/2020 - 23:44

      Supercheap Auto charges flat batteries for free! Just bring the unplugged battery and they'll let you know honestly if it needs charge/replacement. Saved me $150 on a new battery after doing some Sunday research :D

  • AlphaC on 24/08/2020 - 23:06

    Hi folks, sorry dumb question - how do you use this?

    Do you just plug onto your car battery connected to a power point and leave it overnight ?

    • Herbse on 24/08/2020 - 23:08

      That's it

      You choose 12v and car battery and then plug it up

      • AlphaC on 24/08/2020 - 23:13

        Awesome, thank you!

        Sounds handy indeed, as I have 1 car sitting in a porch and only getting a 5 min drive once a week.

        How long are the cables on these ?
        The distance from my nearest plug point to the car battery is easily 2 metres away- so do I need to get an extension cord to get this hooked up ?

        • Herbse on 24/08/2020 - 23:14
          +1

          Should be close. A 1m extension cable may be needed.

        • placard on 25/08/2020 - 08:58
          +2

          You can run it off any length extension lead you need. They don't draw huge watts so no risk running a long lead if you need. I've done it before on the driveway, tucked the charger somewhere in the engine bay and closed the bonnet to the first latch to keep everything hidden and dry but still allow the extension cord to fit through.

          I put a sticky note on the steering wheel so I don't accidentally drive off with the charger connected.

    • SuperScope on 24/08/2020 - 23:14
      +2

      In addition to what @Herbse mentioned, you can also select whether or not you want the battery to be reconditioned. It will then just add the reconditioning cycle at the end of the battery charge.

        Thank you both - I'm gonna get one

      • bubaebae on 25/08/2020 - 08:45

        Can this product be used when the battery is flat?. i.e. car not used/started for a long period of time.

        • SuperScope on 25/08/2020 - 09:29

          Depends how flat and old the battery is. Theres just no reviving some batteries. Either way the CTEK will do an initial check to see if your battery is defective and if it can even charge your battery at the start of its cycle (see "step 2 soft start" of the manual)

      • griffy on 25/08/2020 - 09:39

        Should a normal working battery go through reconditioning, or is it only for a fully flat battery?

        • SuperScope on 25/08/2020 - 10:54
          +1

          Probably worthwhile doing it once a year? Their manual states that you should Recond your battery once per year and after deep discharge to maximise lifetime and capacity.

          Note Im by no means a mechanic so I'm just commenting based on the research I did earlier in the year as I had a dead battery and borrowed one of these units from a friend.

  • Herbse on 24/08/2020 - 23:09

    Everyone working from home and not using their car needs this so their battery doesn't keep getting low from not being used then back up after long periods. This is for batteries die.

    And if you got a fancy euro car, you might need a tow to the dealership to get it back up and running if your alarm is sensitive to battery disconnects

          +1

          Yeah I thought this too, as I also noticed that the OP only just signed up not long before this deal being posted.

          Mydeals appears to be a marketplace so I'd expect pretty average feedback due to shonky traders. But this particular item is being sold by Edisons Direct, which a quick Google shows they are an Australian company based in NSW with two warehouses.

          So if there's anything suss, to me, it'll be that the OP is affiliated with Edisons Direct rather than Mydeals, and attempting to sockpuppet?

          Was able to pay using PayPal, so took a bit more comfort in that fact.

          Fingers crossed nonetheless!

          • sAmiZZle on 25/08/2020 - 00:34

    I just bought https://www.banggood.com/12V24V-8A-Touch-Screen-Pulse-Repair… from Banggood for ~$40 AUD and used it to repair our car battery that was losing capacity. I also bought a tester from Amazon and the repair function on this charger restored it from ~320 CCA to ~530 CCA (battery is rated 600 CCA).

    It's currently $23 USD (~$32). At a third of the price of the one in the deal I reckon this one's worth a look.

      yes can revive dead batteries.

      • thestig on 25/08/2020 - 11:41

        Actually these often don't work if the battery is completely dead as there isn't enough power for the charger to detect it's connected. You need to either connect it to an old dumb charger first or possibly leave it in your car and jumpstart to let the alternator give it a little bit first before using this charger to restore the battery properly. Having said that it's really bad for your battery to let it go below 50% so this shouldn't be a common issue.
