FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How does the TIME TO GO function actually work?
A: The charger continuously analyzes your battery's acceptance rate and chemistry to calculate the precise remaining charging time. The display shows countdown indicators at 8, 4, 2, and 1 hour intervals, plus "GO" when the battery is ready to use and "CARE" when it reaches maintenance mode.

Q: Can I leave the charger connected permanently?
A: Yes, the CT5 is designed for long-term connection. Once charging is complete, it automatically switches to maintenance mode, keeping your battery at optimal capacity without risk of damage from overcharging.

Q: Will this work with deeply discharged batteries?
A: Yes, the CT5 can recover batteries discharged down to 2.0V using its specialized Recond program, which many standard chargers cannot do. This makes it ideal for reviving batteries that have sat unused for extended periods.

Q: Is this charger safe to use with sensitive vehicle electronics?
A: Absolutely. The CT5 delivers clean, filtered power that won't damage sensitive electronic systems. Its spark-free connection and reverse polarity protection provide additional safety.

Q: What makes this better than a standard charger?
A: Beyond the unique countdown feature, the CT5 uses an advanced 8-step charging algorithm that standard chargers don't offer. This approach maximizes both immediate performance and long-term battery life, potentially doubling your battery's lifespan.
