Smooth sailing with new battery charger from CTEK
GREAT Britain is a nation of boat lovers, with the latest figures from British Marine showing that in 2020 new and used boat sales grew by 9%.
A record 3.96 million UK adults (7.4% of the UK adult population) participated in one or more of 12 core boating activities.
While owning a boat has a lot of benefits, what happens if you experience a breakdown on the water? The quiet relaxation and freedom that comes from being out on the open water in a boat is only possible when you have peace of mind – when you can rest assured that your boat will start, take you where you want to go and, most importantly, get you safely and surely back to dry land.
Now you can achieve that level of freedom by taking the CS FREE on board with you; four products in one portable unit – adaptive booster, battery charger, smart maintainer and hi-tech powerbank.
The innovative Adaptive Boost technology allows you to get going from a flat battery, while also acting as a battery charger, an intelligent maintainer and an on-the-go powerbank to charge cameras, smart phones and other equipment.
Mark Poole, sales manager at CTEK, said: “With the CS FREE, all you need to do is simply charge it up, take it with you wherever you go, and use it when you need it. This can be a life saver both on the water and on the road, as it’s suitable for use with boats, cars and motorcycles.
“The addition of a CS FREE Solar Panel means you really can sit back, relax and enjoy the good times! It pairs perfectly with the CS FREE, so you can charge your battery boat via a solar panel and use it whenever you are out on the water or have moored up for a while. Fold it, transport it, and connect it in seconds, this intelligent and responsive solar panel kit delivers reliable solar power whenever you need it.”
He added: “Following the pandemic we’re seeing lots of people spending money on leisure time, and buying boats with the funds they didn’t spend on overseas holidays.
“But, especially if you’re new to boating, you certainly don’t want to start the season with a dead battery. It’s expensive, time consuming and frustrating.
“The CS FREE is designed to also be an intelligent charger and maintainer that will keep your batteries in optimum condition and delivering maximum performance.”
The CS FREE comes with a two-year warranty and is available now. For more information on CTEK and the CS FREE visit: www.ctek. com/uk/cs-free-marine
