About This Product
Why the CTEK CT5 Start Stop?
Start-stop technology is now standard in most new Indian cars — Maruti Swift, Hyundai i20, Honda Amaze, Ford EcoSport. The system automatically shuts off the engine at red lights and restarts it when you release the brake. This is hard on batteries — a start-stop car can stop and restart its engine 2,000+ times a day in city traffic. These vehicles use EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) or AGM batteries specifically designed for this cycling. A standard charger will damage these batteries. The CT5 Start Stop is calibrated for EFB and AGM batteries, with the specific charging profiles they need.
How It Works
The 8-step process explained
1
Desulphation
Recovers EFB and AGM batteries that have been deep-cycled by heavy start-stop use.
2
Soft Start
Safety check — confirms EFB/AGM battery health.
3
Bulk Charge
5A charge appropriate for start-stop vehicle batteries.
4
Absorption
EFB and AGM batteries require precise voltage ceilings — this step respects that.
5
Battery Analysis
Tests if the battery can still handle the cycling demands of start-stop driving.
6
Recondition
Deep recovery for EFB batteries that have been cycled heavily.
7
Float
Maintenance charge — keeps the battery ready for the next day's city driving.
8
Pulse Maintenance
Periodic top-up for start-stop vehicles left unused over weekends.
How To Use
Step-by-step instructions
Connect red clamp to positive (+), black to negative (−).
The charger automatically detects and applies the correct EFB or AGM profile.
Plug into 230V. Charging begins automatically.
Recommended weekly for vehicles used primarily in stop-and-go city traffic.
Green light indicates fully charged. Safe to leave connected overnight.

Not suitable for: Older cars without start-stop — MXS 5.0 is a better match. Bikes — use CT5 PowerSport.
How It Compares
vs other options
vs MXS 5.0: Both charge AGM batteries correctly. The CT5 Start Stop has a specific EFB mode and is optimised for the cycling pattern of start-stop vehicles. If you have a start-stop car, the CT5 Start Stop is the better choice. If you're not sure whether your car has start-stop, look for an 'A' or 'ECO' button near the gear lever.
FAQ
Common questions
How is a CTEK charger different from a cheap charger?
A basic charger pushes current until you disconnect it, which can overcharge and damage the battery. CTEK chargers use a multi-step algorithm — they assess battery condition, desulfate if needed, charge at the optimal rate, and switch to maintenance mode automatically. Safe to leave connected indefinitely.
Can I charge an AGM battery with a standard charger?
No — AGM batteries require a specific voltage ceiling and charging profile. A standard charger will overcharge an AGM battery and destroy it. All CTEK chargers with an AGM mode are safe for AGM batteries.
How often should I charge my car battery?
If you drive daily, your alternator keeps the battery charged. But if the car sits unused for more than 2 weeks, connect a charger. In Indian summers, charge and test every 3 months — heat is the primary cause of early battery death.
Is it safe to leave a CTEK charger connected for months?
Yes. CTEK chargers automatically switch to pulse maintenance mode once charging is complete. They deliver tiny pulses to keep the battery at 100% without overcharging. Many customers leave them connected for the entire monsoon/winter storage period.

Yes. naredi.in is the authorized distributor in India for CTEK, Rislone, OzCharge, Autool and Foxwell. Products are sourced directly from the brands — not grey market imports. Warranty is handled by naredi.in directly in India.
