Swedish brand CTEK, through its official local distributor Waido Marketing and Distribution, Inc., recently held its first ever 4x4 Tech Talk in Pasig City. Together with the Jeep Rubicon Club of the Philippines, the event served to highlight the automotive battery maintenance and power charging expert’s product called the D250S Dual charger.
The D250S Dual charger is CTEK’s most advanced product in the market today. It boasts a design structure and smart technologies that can handle today’s modern automobiles like the latest Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Land Rover Range Rover models. These vehicles, with their rugged looks and commendable off-roading capabilities, use smart alternators that consume less fuel and meet the most stringent emission standards of today.
A smart alternator works by emitting quick jolts of high power to start the engine. It then automatically lowers the output as soon as the engine gets going. This process lowers the load on the engine, but the battery often takes the brunt of the process due to the initial burst of power.
The CTEK D250S Dual charger helps to alleviate the battery’s stress by automatically engaging at a lower voltage upon startup. Its input range from 10V to 22V allows the system to operate when the output voltage from the smart alternator drops. It basically rescues the battery from losing too much power upon starting the engine by automatically switching on to charge the battery.
Best part is that it can also charge the battery using solar power, so keeping the vehicle’s ignition switch to the on position is no longer needed. The D250S Dual is a fully automatic, five-stage charger that supplies 20A to 12V batteries of 40-300Ah. It charges quickly, thus extending battery life and optimizing its performance.
The D250S Dual is IP65 classified, meaning that its structure is built to be splash and dust proof, perfect for outdoor use. CTEK Philippines is so confident about D250S Dual charger’s durability that it bundles a 2-year guarantee to the product as standard for those interested to buy one.
In addition, the CTEK D250S Dual has a feature called Battery Sense that basically detects the power level of the battery. It comes with a free downloadable app that's available for IOS and Android devices. Refer to the photos below for a quick look at how Battery Sense works.
The CTEK D250S Dual charger is available at Concept One Wheels, as well as your nearest Blade Auto Center. To know more about the CTEK D250S Dual charger and more of CTEK Philippines’s products, services, visit its official Facebook page.
