The CTEK XS 0.8 Battery Charger is a compact yet powerful solution for keeping 12V batteries in peak condition. Designed for motorcycles, ATVs, jet skis, and other seasonal vehicles, this smart charger ensures your battery remains healthy during long periods of inactivity.

Key Features

Fully Automatic 6-Stage Charging

The CTEK XS 0.8 employs an intelligent charging algorithm with six distinct stages:

1. Desulphation – Revives deeply discharged batteries by breaking down sulphate crystals.
2. Soft Start – Safely initializes charging without overloading the battery.
3. Bulk Charge – Delivers maximum current to restore charge efficiently.
4. Absorption – Maintains optimal voltage for a full charge.
5. Analysis – Checks battery health before switching to maintenance mode.
6. Pulse Maintenance – Keeps the battery at 100% without overcharging.

This advanced system ensures longevity and reliability, making it ideal for lead-acid, AGM, and GEL batteries.
