I have a Ctek charger. Can I use it on this to recharge it? Thx for the advice.

    Most battery maintainers have a very low wattage, so dependant on the model it may take a while to charge from 0% to 100%. I had a perfectly good but large Mercedes battery take about a day to charge to full.

    Just read the manual. But i would assume yes.

    For your cars ECU safety. Remember to take off the negative pole before charging. Modern cars ECU is known to be easy to damage. If you remove all chances for potential, you should be home safe. But I highly doubt ctek would be able to damage anything. So personally i would just charge without doing anything. But i like to live dangerously 😎 but thats a personal take.

        That’ll be fine… just set it to the car setting, not the motorbike… and can either turn agm on or off… leave it on the battery for about 24 hours if you can (or as long as possible)…

    So the Varta is the Blue Dynamic 560 077 055, and the CTEK charger I have is the MXS 5.0. I’m only asking as I did charge another battery last time but the battery could never hold a charge - which I had to replace it with this.

      You sure can, but 4 amp charger is going to take hours to charge it. Your old battery was most likely faulty, it’s not the charger’s fault.
