ctek

Hi All, First post so please go easy. I have searched the forum but I haven't found any other posts on this. I fitted my CTEK 250SE DC to DC charger around 2 months ago and all was working as expected , I would start the engine and after a few seconds the CTEK would start up and charge the...

Connected up my solar last night, so from panel down through the van to mc4 connectors under the passenger seat (with 200a power analyser) to a Ctek d250 under the driver seat. Tested this morning and have 21v to under passenger seat, nothing on the power analyser?? And across the ctek 3v...

Hi, I’ve got my ctek 250 set for agm battery which as I understand should be 14.7v the bmv says 14.99v and has fluctuatedto just over 15v When charging with engine running. is this ok or is something amiss? Thanks rob.

Yesterday I noticed something that I hadn't seen before. Probably because I have the drivers seat out for another job and noticed it but thought I'd check. I had EHU connected which was powering a Victron Energy IP22 12\15. This was charging the leisure battery. I also had a Victron Energy...

Hi All, I was experiencing that my starter battery was going flat due to not being used during this lock down. So, with help from @Dellmassive. He suggested that i bought a 50w solar panel and to connect it to one of the 12v sockets in the dashboard. I also bought 2 x BM2 battery monitors and...

Hi guys, hoping someone can point me to what the various led combinations on the CTEK mean. I can't find what I'm looking for in the manual so don't know if it is correct or not. The CTEK has just been installed (not by me) and as it is under the drivers seat it is quite hard to get to to...

Hi Guys Hope someone can help. Im just wiring in aCtek d250SE to my 2017 Vw T6 (Euro 6 Start stop engine). Think I've done it right but the green light comes on the ctek but nothing else so it doesn't look that its charging my leisure battery. Where am I going wrong??Any ideas

If I buy the cbe pc180 distribution system do I also need a ctek 250se to charge the leisure battery from the alternator ?? Thks

Hi all, the alternator light on my ctek 250 is flashing, any ideas please....cheers.

Hi I'll be getting myself a DC/DC charger to replace the current smart relay set up soon. As the first step before i go solar, ideally i'd want one with a built in MPPT solar controller, so was wondering if any one has any recommendations as to what to get? Been looking at the CTEK D250sE (or...

I'm planning on fitting a solar panel on my van, looking at the photonic universe 160W semi flexible. But scanning through some posts on here i found out i need to now upgrade my existing leisure battery setup. My van is 16 plate euro 5 engine T28 so has stop/start bluemotion, was an exhire...

Hi everyone Does anyone know anything about these CTek split chargers? I've built my own campervan and read alot about T6s and their smart alternators etc. So I bought a CTek split charger and wired it all in. It all works fine, the solar charges the new leasure battery and the alternator...

Hi guys, We’ve had a couple of occurrences of a weird, apparently random, issue with our charger/leisure battery setup. We have a CTEK D250SA charger, solar panel and LiFOS68 battery. Not sure if there’s anything else relevant. First time we parked up overnight a few months ago we were...

Hello all, trying to do research across the forum into whether I can use a CTEK D250S Dual with my 18 plate bluemotion panel van to charge my non factory fitted leisure battery. Sifted thru just about every page of every thread on here but getting a little lost in what I should and should not be...

I'm just about to install a leoch 130 agm under the drivers seat of my T6. There is all the usual split charger, 12v charger and 240 distribution to squeeze in too. I've been playing about with ideas before fitting and its looking extremely tight! Has anyone done this and can offer pointers on...

Hi everyone Starting to get the wiring together. Had a pop top fitted and got them to put a 150w solar panel onto as well. I’m using a ctek d250sa. They have given me a control unit with the panel. My question is do I just wire the live from solar panel straight into the ctek and disregard the...

Ctek have announced an updated version of the ever popular Dual 250. Now designated the 250SE, it is compatible with LiFePO4 batteries. As you might expect, it has gone up in price, but not by a huge amount so it is still very well priced. Available in the next 7 - 10 days.

Hi all. I'm just planning out my electrics and will be purchasing the CTEK D250SA to power a 110Ah battery under the drivers captain seat. I'll also be mounting 2x100w flexible solar panels on the roof to utilise the CTEKS's direct solar input for off grid camping. Think I have all that element...

Hi All Could someone check the positive terminal on their battery in the engine bay and maybe send me a picture? I think im missing the plastic cover that covers the terminal after having my suspension fitted last week, i found the negative cover in the back of the van but not sure if there...
