What are Maypole like? I see they are British made although I suspect some of the components are from the land of the Wuhan flu.
I'm a bit disenchanted with my Ctek, it keeps saying that a couple of batteries are knackered, but they're fine when charged on an old buzz box charger and I'm sure it has killed a couple of other small batteries that had been working fine.
When it plays up it usually gets half way through charging & then throws a fault, yet the old buzz box charges them fine & they hold up as well as any other battery the same size. The batteries that it appears to have killed went from working reasonably well to being virtually useless in a single charge cycle.CTEK won't try to charge a battery it senses a fault in. They are designed to be left attached to cars etc forever so I can't see it would kill a battery? Once it reaches full charge it sits and only intermittently charges?

Ctek often wont start charging a dead battery... really dead... so I have a 1950.s pre transistor direct current to start the charge.. its only 3 amp but will put some life back.
