Maintaining sufficient power supply is the single biggest consideration for boat owners.

With increased power requirements, today’s boat owner is looking for smart, efficient solutions to battery charging. They want to leave the mooring with peace of mind, knowing on-board equipment will work and, most importantly, that they won’t get stranded.

To meet these needs, CTEK, a leading global brand in the care and maintenance of vehicle batteries, has launched the M25 (25 Amp) and M15 (15 Amp) battery charger and maintainer.

Combining power and advanced technology with safety, ease of use and flexibility to work with any 12V lead-acid battery, plus lithium-ion (LiFePO4), these chargers provide the perfect solution for small-to-medium motorboats.

The M25 & M15 units from CTEK are approved for permanent installation and come supplied with a four-metre cable with M10 eyelets, for easy installation.

A rugged, impact-resistant casing and IP44 rating means that both units can also handle the toughest environments. The new units have an eye-catching, robust design and use the latest technology for maximised operating efficiency & reliability.

The units will ensure that a safe, fast charge is delivered to meet the needs of the individual battery. A built-in sensor will adjust the charge rate to achieve maximum charge levels. The M15 and M25 units also have a dedicated reconditioning programme to restore battery life and recondition flat batteries.

Both units have unique maintenance programmes that mean they can be connected to the battery indefinitely, if the boat is moored for longer periods of time, or if the boat is taken out of the water for the winter.

Float and Pulse Maintenance stages will ensure the battery is kept at optimum charge levels, so your boat is ready to go. CTEK calculates that by regularly charging and conditioning your battery, you can extend its life by as much as three times – saving time, money and helping to reduce your carbon footprint.

The M25 and M15 units are fully automatic and easy to use. They are also simple to connect, spark proof and reverse-polarity protected to safeguard the user and also the battery.

The M25 and M15 chargers cost around £250 to £350 and come with a five-year warranty.
