Adaptive Boost Technology:
The revolutionary Adaptive Boost feature is what sets the NXT 15 apart from traditional chargers. When you need to charge your battery quickly, Adaptive Boost delivers maximum charging current to rapidly bring the battery to 80% capacity in minimal time. This is perfect for situations where you need to get back on the road quickly. Once the battery reaches 80%, the charger automatically switches to normal charging mode to safely complete the charge cycle.
Bluetooth Connectivity & CTEK App:
The NXT 15 features built-in Bluetooth connectivity that pairs with the free CTEK app (iOS and Android). Through the app, you can:
- Monitor real-time charging status and battery voltage
- View charging history and battery health data
- Customize charging settings and modes
- Receive notifications when charging is complete
- Access advanced diagnostics and battery information
8-Step Automatic Charging:
The CTEK NXT 15 uses an advanced 8-step charging process that optimizes battery health and longevity:
- Desulphation: Removes sulphation from battery plates for improved performance
- Soft Start: Tests battery condition before charging begins
- Bulk Charge: Charges battery to approximately 80% capacity using maximum current (15A)
- Absorption: Continues charging at declining current until battery reaches 100%
- Analysis: Tests battery's ability to hold charge
- Recondition: Restores battery capacity (when Recondition mode selected)
- Float Charge: Maintains battery at 100% without overcharging
- Pulse Maintenance: Keeps battery fresh during long-term storage
Recondition Mode:
The Recondition mode uses a controlled high-voltage charge to break down sulphate crystals that build up on battery plates over time. This can restore capacity to deeply discharged or neglected batteries, extending their service life. Use Recondition mode periodically to maintain optimal battery performance.
Snowflake Mode (Cold Weather):
The Snowflake mode optimizes charging for cold weather conditions (below 32°F/0°C). Cold temperatures reduce battery capacity and charging efficiency, so the Snowflake mode adjusts the charging algorithm to ensure optimal charging even in freezing conditions. Perfect for winter storage or cold climate use.
Maintenance Mode:
The NXT 15's automatic maintenance mode (also called float or pulse charging) keeps your battery at optimal charge during storage. This is perfect for seasonal vehicles like motorcycles, classic cars, boats, or RVs that sit unused for extended periods. Simply leave the charger connected, and it will maintain your battery without overcharging.
Safety Features:
- Spark-Proof: Safe to connect even if battery is installed in vehicle
- Reverse Polarity Protection: Prevents damage if you accidentally connect cables backwards
- Overcharge Protection: Automatically prevents overcharging
- Short Circuit Protection: Protects charger and battery from damage
- IP65 Rating: Dust and water resistant for outdoor use
