Re: Ctek chargers?
Hi all,
I have received an XS7000, and was reading the Toyota manual in regards to charging, as I know nothing about the electronic side of cars, before connecting to make sure I don't screw something up.
I have a redarc dual battery system and was going to use the CTEK to charge up the second battery due to the D4D alternator issues. In the manual it states that the earth connection should be disconnected from the battery when charging. Is this necessary with the CTEK, and does this mean that you have to re-set everything afterward? Do I have to do the same with the Aux battery and can I still leave the accessories running off it?
I guess what I'm asking is:
What's the best method for charging the aux battery to keep it fully charged?
Is there a difference for the starter motor?
Can I do both at once?
Cheers,
Ray.
