POWER, PROTECTION AND PERFORMANCE

CTEK expands its Battery Management Toolkit

As modern vehicles continue to evolve, battery management has become one of the most critical – and often underestimated – elements of vehicle reliability.
Increased electrical loads, advanced safety systems, start/stop technology, and lithium-ion adoption mean today’s batteries are working harder than ever.
In response, CTEK – a global leader in battery charging and maintenance – has introduced two significant new additions to its lineup: the NXT 5 Smart Charger, and the RB 3000 and RB 4000 High-Performance Portable Jump Starters.

NXT 5 Smart Charger
At the core of CTEK’s latest innovation is the NXT 5, a next-generation 12V charger and maintainer engineered for both professional and enthusiast use.
Delivering an upgraded 5A charge capacity, the NXT 5 supports a wide range of 12V lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries (1.2–110Ah), making it suitable for everything from motorcycles and passenger vehicles to modern stop/start systems.
Fully automatic charging algorithms continuously monitor voltage and current, ensuring optimal charge delivery without the risk of overcharging or damage to sensitive vehicle electronics.
Designed with real-world workshop conditions in mind, the NXT 5 features spark-free operation, reverse polarity protection and automatic temperature compensation to maintain charging efficiency in both extreme heat and cold.
Patented desulphation and reconditioning modes allow technicians to recover deeply discharged batteries, extending service life and reducing unnecessary replacements – a tangible benefit for both workshops and customers.

RB 3000 and RB 4000 High-Performance Portable Jump Starters
Complementing the NXT 5 is CTEK’s expansion into the portable jump starter category with the RB 3000 and RB 4000.
Built on the same principles of safety, durability and smart design, CTEK says these high-performance units deliver instant starting power when it is needed most.
With peak currents of 3000A and 4000A respectively, the RB range is capable of jump-starting most 12V vehicles, from everyday passenger cars to larger vehicles operating in demanding conditions.
Beyond emergency starting, both units double as high-capacity power banks with USB-A and USB-C outputs, and include an integrated multi-mode LED flashlight for roadside or off-grid use.
Advanced safety systems, including spark-proof technology and reverse polarity protection, ensure confident operation in high-pressure situations.

Smarter, safer, and more reliable
Together, CTEK says the NXT 5 and RB range represent its continued commitment to smarter, safer, and more reliable battery solutions – equipping workshops and drivers alike with the tools needed to keep vehicles moving, no matter the conditions.
