Finally found someone having similar sentiments like i do regarding car battery charger. I own the same charger by the way.

Workshop people con us drivers left right centre saying that MF batteries can't last beyond 2 years. Then we takut takut go change every 18-24 months. Actually, even normal ones can last double that time if periodically put it under charge. Can save money on the long run but many still don't believe it.

I usually do a maintenance charge overnight once a month. How's your regime?

noob with a silly question here.......how do you charged our car battery?.......do we need to take the battery off our car to charged?........thanks

wont have any ill effects on our car's sensitive electronic system??.......need to charged overnight?........check on internet roughly around rm.550 per unit.......how much did you guys buy?........thanks for the info.

how long does it nee to charged the battery??......let say we charged our battery every 6months.......sorry for stupid question........weighing the pro and con for getting this charger as my car's batteries are all around 1.5years now......  thanks

It is actually called "reconditioning" mode, not boost mode. No need to remove terminals, just charge like normal, no ill effects on all the cars that i ran with this mode.
No, it won't affect the electronics in the car. The battery itself already acts as a giant voltage regulator, just not a good idea to start the car with the charger still plugged in (although technically won't have any ill effects either, but just to be on the safe side). However, there is a version that can support jump start.

I bought mine a number of years ago for slightly below RM400 from RS components. Now RM500+ rather normal considering that RM depreciated significantly.

Can last at least 3 years if :
1) driven on high speed long distance frequently
2) put on a periodic maintenance charge with a dedicated lead acid battery charger
Depends on your battery condition, usually takes around 4-6 hours to complete the charging programme for smaller sized batteries. But for convenience sake, I just leave it overnight. If you want it faster, get the higher amperage version, but of course more expensive la...The device is automated, just plug in, select the charging mode and wait.

I have a Bosch C7 charger.

Recently I came across this prouduct - Battery Desulfator
Seems to be even better than a battery charger.

First of all sulphation occur on plates whenever the battery is used. Charging the battery would return the sulphate back to electrolyte. Overtime sulphate build up on plates and not reverseable that's why charging started to fail. Lead acid battery is best to top up charge and not left discharge.

I would say stay away from the device. When I see the testimony shows it has revived dead battery,  that's a lie. It just like the Epsom salt myth. There's no way to really revive a dead battery (flat battery is fine but not dead battery). Meanwhile there's no way such a small device without relying on any AC power source could help to do enough desulphate process. It's probably just a simple voltage stablelizer with some small capacitors in it.

Can Ctek Mxs 5.0 charge most MF car batteries?

hmm......those fluid is it same as wet battery?
