How to save your battery

The CTEK MXS 5.0 can help keep your bike (or car) ready to ride

Do you own a motorcycle or three, and are you a busy human? If this is you, there’s a good chance you’ve walked into your garage the morning of a ride you’ve been planning for a small eternity and clunk, chug, clunk. Your motorcycle battery is dead – unsurprising yet highly alarming and hugely irritating. Life is chaos, and you’ve only managed to go for a burn once in the last two months. Or perhaps you’ve been away, whatever the reason, unless you work for Australia Post or Uber delivery, then you’ve likely experienced this morning moto devastation.

This no longer needs to be the case – morning moto stress be gone. Renowned Swedish battery company CTEK has designed the MXS 5.0 using their advanced technology favoured by over 50 of the world’s top vehicle manufacturers. Set and forget using a patented float/pulse system, the MXS is a drip feed battery charger that self-regulates according to your battery, you simply attach and walk away. The key here is the MXS also maintains your battery’s health without overcharging it, extending the battery’s life.

This nifty little moto battery saver is splash and dust proof, short-circuit proof and provides safe spark free operation with an easy to read LED display.

Aimed at lead acid batteries from 1.2 – 110Ah, the MXS 5.0 includes a diagnosis mode to decipher if your battery can receive and retain charge along with a special ‘recon’ mode that can pull some of the deepest snoozing of batteries out of their slumber through a reconditioning.

The MXS 5.0 regulates its temperature, so you don’t have to worry about how it’s responding even in blistering hot (hello incoming Australian summer) or freezing temperatures (hurrah for Melbourne and Tassie 87 per cent of the year).

So keep this tidy little piece of gadget information in your back pocket as our bikes roar back to life for spring and summer… a few of them might need a wee reconditioning from the good people at CTEK.
