8-Step Automatic Charging:
The CTEK PRO25S 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 (25A)
- 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
Supply Mode - Professional Diagnostic Power:
The PRO25S features a unique Supply mode that provides stable 13.6V power output without charging. This is invaluable for professional diagnostic work, allowing you to power vehicle systems for testing and diagnostics without draining the battery. Supply mode can also be used to power 12V equipment in the workshop.
Lithium (LiFePO4) Compatibility:
Unlike most chargers, the CTEK PRO25S is fully compatible with lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries in addition to all lead-acid types. The charger automatically detects battery chemistry and adjusts its charging profile accordingly. This makes it the ultimate universal charger for modern workshops dealing with both traditional and lithium batteries.
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. Essential for workshop environments where battery recovery is needed.
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 workshops or cold climate facilities.
