Smarter Chargers: a UK online shop focused solely on CTEK charging equipment

Smarter Chargers is an online store operated by East Coast Signs Ltd that sells CTEK battery chargers, conditioners and related accessories. According to its own presentation, it is the only website in the UK dedicated entirely to CTEK products, a decision the company attributes to the hands-on experience its staff have gained using these chargers on their own vehicles.

The catalogue is organised around charger types and specific uses, covering 12-volt, 12/24-volt, 24-volt and 6-volt units, as well as DC chargers, marine chargers and lithium chargers. It also includes a section for shop-soiled items, accessories, battery diagnosis tools, portable CS Free and CS One units, and jump-start products.

Chargers for different battery types and vehicles

The company states that CTEK chargers are suitable for maintaining and reconditioning wet, MF, AGM, calcium/calcium and GEL batteries. It lists applications across boats, cars, commercial vehicles, jet-skis, tractors and lawnmowers, and notes that the chargers can be left switched on for long periods, for example to keep a classic car charged over the winter.

Among the products shown on the site are the CTEK MXS 5.0, MXS 7.0 and MXS 10 12-volt car battery chargers, the CT5 Start/Stop charger, the MXTS 40 12/24-volt 40A charger, the Multi MXT 4.0 24-volt charger, the PRO25S and NXT 5 lithium chargers, and the Smartpass 120S DC charger. The jump-start range includes the RB 4000 and RB 3000 boosters.
