CTEK Cigarette Lighter Connector Adaptor 56-263

I wanted to hard-wire my Ctek charger into my car, for over-winter care of the battery when the car is only used occasionally. This did the job perfectly, makes connecting up easy, charges perfectly well and will really help my battery life. The lead is just long enough to reach from the wire I have from the wall socket, through the boot, and to the charger which is tucked into a side well in the boot. The adapter is strong and of high quality. It did require doing some rewiring of the fuse box to make the boot accessory socket permanently connected, but that only took ten minutes with a fuse adapter.

Works perfectly. Just check that the power/lighter socket on your car is permanently live, ie not turned off with the ignition. Also note that the cable is only 30cm long.

Bought this adapter for the cigarette lighter as its easier to use than lifting the bonnet/connecting the leads. Works without any issues. However, you may need to purchase the extension cable if your plug socket isn't close by.

Some cars only activate the cigarette lighter when the ignition is switched on, which is a pity, as the point of this device is to allow the the battery to be charged up by plugging the CTEK CTE-MXS5.0 into the lighter socket rather than clamping it directly to the battery terminals which means leaving the bonnet up/open. It is obviously not desirable to leave a car unattended with the keys in the ignition just to activate the lighter socket! Assuming the socket is active with the ignition off, this gives a quicker, easier and neater solution, with the added advantage one is less likely to drive off with the charger still attached, as the lead is visible inside the car, rather than less visible under the bonnet!

Waited a long time to get this so that charging battery was a lot easier However you do need a CTEK charger (obvious really )

Bought this to go with Ctek charger/optimiser unit, simple to connect up and works fine charging and monitoring the battery via the cigarette lighter. Just make sure you do your homework when buying this type of connector- as far as I'm aware the car's cigarette lighter MUST be the type that remains on/active even when the ignition is off. If yours turns off power when the ignition is off I believe it won't work on the vehicle. Check carefully first. OVERALL- a little pricey but well made, and works perfectly, recommended.

Excellent, simple device that enables you to connect the CTEK charger (7A maximum - this is not suitable for CTEK models with a greater current) direct to the car's cigarette lighter socket. Most cars will have one at the front, and quite likely others in the rear and in the boot. No need to lift the bonnet at all, and no messing around with crocodile clips. This will NOT work however if the sockets are not live when the ignition is switched off. Easy to check this - try charging something like a phone with the ignition off, and if you have to switch the ignition on to get it to charge, this device won't work. One tip - consider buying the extension cable that CTEK produce. The lead that comes with the cigarette lighter socket cable is very short indeed, and the extension cable makes it easier still to use.

If your cigarette lighter is off while ignition is off, this doesn't work. So is your car shut off cigarette lighter likes mine, it will not work.

Schelle Lieferung, gut verpackt. Preis stimmt auch. Was will man mehr.

簡単で正確に機能します。

J’ai acheté ce CTEK Connect CIG Plug pour pouvoir recharger la batterie de mon véhicule sans avoir à accéder directement aux bornes (ma batterie est difficile d’accès), et je suis très content du résultat. Points forts : Installation très simple car la prise se branche sur la prise accessoire/allume-cigare 12 V, donc pas besoin d’utiliser des pinces. Câble bien conçu, robuste et flexible, ce qui donne une connexion sûre et durable quand il est utilisé avec un chargeur CTEK compatible. Il fonctionne avec les chargeurs CTEK jusqu’à 7 A selon la fiche produit et la prise d’accessoire est compatible avec des sockets de 12 mm à 21 mm. A noter que le câble fait “seulement” 40 cm, ce qui peut être un peu court selon la disposition des prises dans le véhicule. Conclusion : Un accessoire très utile pour les personnes ayant des batteries difficiles d’accès : on branche le chargeur via la prise 12 V, et le système CONNECT de CTEK s’occupe du reste. Je recommande vivement👍

Excelente accesorio para facilitar carga de batería. No es necesario abrir el cofre y quitar la tapa de la batería.
