[Nicholai]

from wat my mechanic said. tet batt is totally cannot make it 1. singapore made BUT japan quality....

 

Hmmm, this is the first time that I hear Japanese quality is no good .

Battery reconditioning this afternoon any1 ??

[GuiNNeSS]

for a car that is seldom used ... whats the best way to keep the battery fully charged ? no nearby power points also ...

[speedevil6969]

how much will a ctek charger and a brand new battery cost for a ST11? how muc to check and recond existing battery?

The only way to keep a seldom use battery in good condition is to charge it regularly. So since u dun have power point - your next option is a DC PowerBank ( another battery, which u still have to charge somewhere ).

We charge $2 for reconditioning your battery. Pls email me your request, then I can quote you. We dun carry battery yet.

How do we know " TET " is made in S'pore ? It may be CKD !!

 

 

Still can't believe that there re still shops that bring these brands in.

can u explain DC powerbank ?

[limbat]

can u explain DC powerbank ?

 

In layman term, itis a just another battery with a built in charger. It goes by many names - EmergencyPack & PowerPack are the common term for it.

 

[GuiNNeSS]

those $100++ damn heavy thing which claim to be able to start a dead battery etc etc ???? will it be able to charge my battery ? if so ...how does it work ??? connect to my current battery and let it charge ?

[limbat]

I personally dun think they can charge yr battery but if u constantly charge it, she will start yr ride. But i have seen used car dealers using it to charge their cars weak battery - i really dun know how this work.

[Pplater]

eh.. ur DC powerbank is a product u carry? Got any info online to illustrate? Your cteck.com website not accessible leh.

[hachi]

I think mustafar they are selling....$72 and $108...

Portable charger...

I think is a batt itself but with some kinda of circuit that boost the amp enough to charge a batt........CAn consider....

Sorry mate - I dun stock this item - I dun find them useful except as a backup battery but since I need to charge them all the time - I decided to tool my own electronic battery charger.

 

Mr. Hachi, has incidated Mustafar may sell them.

 

Happy New Year ............. to all ..................

thanks for the heads up hachi. i bought the ctek charger from Limbat to carry on tours as a solution to rectifier/coil failure. Its easier to find an AC socket than a motor shop in the middle of nowhere/at night. But this powerbank thing sounds like an independent charger that makes more sense in a power failure situation. U can imagine the senario i am thinking about. Its common enough. Think i will check it out soon. Cheers!

I have been wanting to support touring groups with a standy charger, since u bought a unit may I offer you a few additional charging cables for your gang. This charging cable is easy to install & easy to use anytime u need to charge your members bike. Pls call me - 93891138.

 

BTW the CTEK webby is http://www.ctek.com

boss, just send you some question in email on I faced on XS-3600 I brought from you . thanks

[limbat]

I did read your email this morning - we are now testing a similar model now - once we get the result we will email you back. BTW, have u tried draining some power from your new battery to get the result u wanted ??

Thanks Richard. It's a completely new Yuasa batter.

It was mentioned in Yuasa manual that after adding electrolyte (MF type),

a new battery is approximately 80% charged. it required to be charge prior initial use.

 

XS3600 mention for bike is 14.4V @ 0.8A. But only getting a charging voltage of 12.90V and gradually to 13.10V. Thanks for help.

Our test is indicating a bulk charging rate of 13.39 @0.8a for the last 1 hr -test battery is a used unit yuasa which was complete drained last nite.

Could you try emailing CTEK directly for your requirement - we have never a need for charging at 14.4v @0.8a, perhaps it can only be 14.4v if u use the last mode ( constant) on the xs3600. I will test this later, when the battery is fully charged up.

[limbat]

Bulk charging rate now is at 13.48v @0.8a - last check 2mins ago.

Thanks, let's continue experimenting....

I ask cos under ctek website and manual (below as reference)

http://www.ctek.com/Manuals/new_XS3600_EN.pdf

 

Under page 3 of 7 (of various mode)

Motorcyle - Mode 14.4V / 0.8A

- This mode is normally used for

 

Car - Mode 14.4V / 3.6A

- Normal setting for wet batteries, MF and for most GEL batteries

 

Low temp - Mode 14.7 / 3.6A

- This setting is recommended for batteries at temperatures below 5 degree C. It is also recommended for maintenance charging when the temperature at times exceed 5 degree C. In this case, 14.4V / 3.6A is recommended.

 

I asked this because the measured terminal voltage at myside is only getting a charging voltage of 12.90V and gradually to 13.10V. Thanks for help.

[limbat]

Bulk charging rate now is at 13.80v @0.8a - last check

Sure mate - readings may dffer due to the battery we testing on being not similar - our is a used 12v 6ah yuasa.
