These prices are cheaper than anything you can find on EBAY.

I’ve just bought a CTEK MXS 7.0 as a backup charger so I can keep one in each house.
I also bought a CTEK Battery Sense module ($79.00) which connects to your battery and allows you to monitor the performance of your battery through a Bluetooth App. Apparently, it will notify you when your battery requires a charge........as well as showing the current (pardon the pun) capacity of the battery at any given time.
As a matter of interest, SteveAus, what percentage charge does the battery need to drop to, before the stop/start ceases to function?

Do you normally close the bonnet and/or lock the car while you are charging? Does it make any difference?

Thanks in advance.
