CTEK 56-382 Indicator Eyelet M8 Practical LED Indicator for Immediate Indication of Battery Charge Levels, Red/Black

I have the standard "comfort" charging sockets on all my bikes and the farm quad etc. I chose this indicator one to fit to my touring bike. It only gets used for camping trips so it tends to sit for long periods. Ordinarily I just stick it on charge once a month but using this clever wee device I can top it up exactly when it needs it.The LEDs are easy to see and the cable is easily long enough to route it from the battery terminals to the outside of the bike frame.The cable insulation feels like good quality as are the eyelets and the socket itself.Smart idea that should help extend the battery life.

I recently purchased a CTEK MXS 5.0 for the cars. Wanting to be able to drop/lower the bonnet I also purchased an Indicator Eyelet. The installation process is simple. The nut on the battery connector had corroded and was a little unhappy being budged - but eventually, I managed it, making sure not to lose the bolt down the engine bay. Once fitted it flashed - but that wasn't the main reason for it. The main reason was to allow a quick plugin of the new charger. Planning to get another one for one of our other cars for the same reason to share the charger around the cars. Good product - easy to install (assuming your battery terminal lets you)

Great item and does the job wellFair price and design

Handy device for rarely used vehicles. Note that it’s very pessimistic and will want you to charge all the time.Why do I say it’s pessimistic? I have a vehicle with a new ish Bosch S5 battery in it. After a full CTEK charge I get the flashing green light. 24 hours later I get the amber light meaning “think about charging now”. In fact the correct time to charge my battery is in 3 weeks which is when this goes red. My advice is to ignore this until it goes red, unless you know better.The big plus is that I can charge very conveniently by connecting to mains to the exposed connector once I see it flashing red.

Working well only time will tell.

Having a couple of CTEK chargers with the 'Comfort Connector' on them which are used to keep the batteries on our cars charged, these are a very simple and very useful device to out on your 12V system. Our cars have the batteries buried in the boot, no alternator/battery state gauge on the dash and just a pair of heavy nuts under the bonnet for jump starting.Checking the battery state normally requires the use of a voltmeter. No longer. I have this device connected across the two terminals under the bonnet, and I can instantly see the colour of the LED and therefore if I need to do something about the battery state. Thanks to the comfort connectors I simply plug a couple of 2.5m extension between the cars and the charger and let it get on with it. No croc clips, no open bonnet or boot whilst charging so the cars are secure at all times.If someone should forget to disconnect and just drives off with the charger still connected then these connectors just pull apart. No risk of fire because the live side is fused. If done properly then there is a water resistant cover that weather proofs the socket.

I bought two of these along with a CTEK charger for use on cars that do not have daily use.My cars have difficult to access batteries, so this provides a permanent wiring solution that meets my needs. The added bonus is that the comfort indicator gives a visual indication of your car battery charge.The 'traffic light' system shows FLASHING GREEN for battery is okay, and doesn't need charging (however it would still be okay to attach the CTEK charger, as it will maintain the charge on an okay battery).YELLOW means, attach your CTEK charger, as the battery requires a charge, and harm will occur in the long term if left in this partially discharged state.RED means that the battery is discharged to a state where your battery is in danger of not starting the car and may not hold a charge if not charged immediately.The comfort indicator also has a handy cap to cover the contacts on the end of the cable (where the charger attaches).This is a very useful addition to the CTEK charger.

Bought this for my motorcycle easy to fit great bit of kit
