Ctek NXT5

You should consider getting one of these if you park your car for the winter or park it for long periods or have a lithium battery. A definite need!

Just watched your video. I have the older CTEK MXS 5.0 that I've used on previous cars. However, I never connected it directly to the battery, instead I used cig plug adaptor. I just tried using this method today, but it doesn't seem to work on the FL5. Wonder if you have tried using the cig plug adapter with any success?

I have never used the cig method. Sorry I couldn't be any help.

It's all good. I ended up using the battery method. I had to put a notch in that red plastic cover on the positive terminal though. Not sure if you have the same experience.

BTW, I love all your Youtube videos. I was watching them before I bought my car and still continue to watch them. Tokyo Auto Saloon must have been awesome!

Absolutely. I'll try to comment on Youtube when I can, but I always click like on your videos to help support the channel.

Update I ended up changing my ground wire to the chassis today rather than ground directly to the battery. Both options appear to be safe from all that I have read even on the CTEK website.

That's good to know they finally released a unit that does both lithium, leadacid and AGM. A year or two ago I needed this and they didn't offer it. I ended up going with NOCO 10A one instead. It also does 6V.
