CTEK brings in Professional Charging Series
CTEK, the makers behind the world’s smartest battery charging system, takes a step up with the introduction of its new Professional Charging Series line. Recognizing the increased innovation in today’s vehicles, the demands of the modern workshop have also evolved.
With one in every four vehicles entering a typical workshop with an undercharged battery, it has become increasingly important to offer a robust battery support system especially when doing diagnostics or even ECU flash programming. Enter CTEK with its powerful professionalgrade battery maintenance system that is designed to not only keep up with these needs, but also to help make operations around the workshop easier and more efficient.
CTEK Philippines brings in the PRO60, an innovative, versatile, and highly efficient 60A battery charger and power supply. The PRO60 restores, charges, and reconditions the battery using a patented multistep charging process. It’s compatible with all types of 12-volt batteries including lithium iron phosphate. Its unique patented Adaptive Charging Mode automatically recognizes the size of the battery and selects the optimum charging settings for the fastest charge.
In addition, it’s perfect for diagnostic or software re-flashing work, procedures that require the vehicle’s ignition to be switched on for long periods of time. Providing up to 60A of clean and constant current, the PRO60 has a variable yet extremely stable output, offering total flexibility for the user with 12.6V to 14.8V available, selectable in 0.1V increments. Due to its inherent low voltage and current ripple (variation) and range of integrated safety features, the PRO60 is safety for both the vehicle’s battery and delicate electronic systems.
It’s also designed to be userfriendly with a simple interface consisting of just four buttons and an LCD display. The product’s design also allows for convection cooling through a center cooling core. Finally, its “Resonant Converter” delivers high levels of current with high efficiency and stability, even at high ambient temperatures.
Complementing the PRO60 is the PRO Battery Tester. While the PRO60 does the hardcore charging job, the Battery Tester is made to perform quick, simple, and accurate tests on the battery and electrical system in seconds, without heat or sparks. The PRO Battery Tester also offers complete flexibility. It’s compatible with all battery rating systems (CCA, DIN, EN, IEC, SAE) and 12V leadacid battery chemistries (standard – flooded, AGM, and Gel), and even works on batteries as low as 1V.
The PRO Battery Tester is also equipped with an integrated printer so results can be printed and reviewed immediately by the workshop’s technical personnel, service advisers, and even customer, providing real-time insight during preventive maintenance service.

“Battery issues are becoming more and more common in vehicles entering the workshop. When a vehicle enters the workshop, oil and other fluid levels, tire pressures, and brake condition are all regularly checked and any issues addressed. With the help of our PRO Series of products, workshops can now offer this level of service to their customers’ vehicle batteries—easily safely, and without disruption to usual workshop routines. The introduction of the CTEK PRO Battery Tester to the CTEK PRO Series enables us to offer a complete CTEK battery management solution,” says CTEK Professional Business Unit Manager Peter White.
The CTEK PRO Series is now available alongside their consumer line which includes the likes of the versatile MXS 5.0 and made-for-startstop batteries CT5 Start & Stop.
