A major advantage for the entire Ctek line is that all of them address sulfating in batteries, which is a major factor that shortens the life expectancy of any lead/acid battery, including AGM’s like the Optima. All Ctek’s run a de-sulfating mode in every charge cycle, something that no Battery Tender models, or most other low cost brands, do; plus they run periodic tests on the battery to make sure everything is alright. All Ctek’s also have specific settings for special batteries, like the Optima’s, which require a slightly higher charging voltage than conventional flooded cell batteries.
