A vehicle that sits too long often greets you with a dead battery. This 4.3A charger automatically charges and maintains 12V lead-acid and LiFePO4 batteries, helping keep them ready between uses.
Finding a dead battery after your vehicle, trailer, boat, or equipment has been sitting is one of the main reasons people move beyond basic chargers. The NXT 5 uses an 8-step fully automatic charging cycle that shifts into maintenance charging after the battery is charged, so it stays connected during storage without constant babysitting. When you come back weeks or months later, the battery is still on the charger and ready to start.
When your battery is deeply discharged, a low-output charger can leave you waiting for hours before you're back up and running. This charger delivers 4.3A output and is rated for 12V lead-acid and LiFePO4 batteries from 1.2 Ah to 160 Ah, giving it the output range needed for smaller battery maintenance jobs. Instead of waiting all day on a low-output charger, you get charging capacity that matches the batteries used in your vehicles and equipment.
A battery that sat dead all winter leaves you wondering if it still has any life left. The NXT 5 includes patented desulphation and reconditioning modes for batteries that have been discharged or stored, with a 2.0 V start voltage for recognizing low batteries within its operating range. A battery that appears dead may recover enough to return to service.
The first hookup is where a lot of people slow down, especially when your battery is tucked under a seat or inside a cramped compartment. Spark-free operation and reverse polarity protection help cover the common connection mistakes that make charging feel tense at the clamps. Once connected, charging begins without needing to identify positive and negative terminals.
A charger that sits in the garage has to deal with cold mornings, hot afternoons, and long storage seasons. The NXT 5 uses built-in automatic temperature compensation, operates from -4°F to +122°F, and has an IP65-rated enclosure for dust and water resistance. The charger remains in service year-round without requiring seasonal adjustments.

Hi, everyone; Steven here with etrailer. Today, we're taking a look at our CTEK NXT 5 battery charger for lead acid and lithium batteries. So, folks, this is a great option for you. It supports both 12-volt lead acid and lithium-ion batteries. It has an eight-step fully automatic charging cycle built into it. So it will revive deeply discharged batteries with desulphation and reconditioning modes alike.
It uses an automatic temperature compensation for extreme temperature conditions. So whether it's hot or cold, you're gonna be just fine. And it has AGM optimization for both start and stop vehicle batteries. It is compact. It's a very robust (charger thuds on table) and lightweight (charger thuds on table) but heavy duty.
You got a nice length of cord here, and then you got your primary connection comin' off the back. You can use it for the traditional (attachment clicks) alligator-style clips (clips click) to go right to the battery. (clips clatter) And you got a built-in inline fuse here, of course, (equipment thuds) which is pretty standard nowadays. (charger clatters) And then, of course, you have a simple push down, little spring load kind of disconnect. (equipment clatters) And then you can connect what we call U-terminal connectors (connector clicks) as well, so if you wanna have something like this permanently connected on your battery or something like that at the terminals, you have that option as well, which I like.
So I actually have something like this, not this particular brand, on my battery, on my lawnmower at home, and it uses solar power to keep that charged. So I do like that style of connection personally for my stuff, so. Two different options here. You have low back, current drain built in and low ripple for battery safety, and it uses spark free and reverse polarity protection, so you're not gonna accidentally mix 'em up and cause a fault or an error here. Everything, once you have it powered in, you simply push the mode button to change the mode you want and everything.
And it's got a lot of different options built into it. And if you've been around for a while, you've heard of CTEK most likely. Great company, great products, (charger clatters) and you're not gonna be displeased, in my opinion. Now, as always, folks, if you have any questions about this or any of our other products, reach out to us. We're here to assist you in any way we can. I'm Steven with etrailer. Thanks for watching.
