I bought a fancy new battery charger for my motorcycle, the CTEK CS FREE. I don’t have access to a mains outlet in my garage, and it would be nice to have as backup if the battery runs out.

Unfortunately it turns out that it doesn’t support the standard CTEK connect cables. I can only use the included cable with crocodile clamps. So I can’t connect it to the battery tender connector. This removes quite a lot of the usefulness of it.

@ollej Add a socket in the garage and modify the included cables to connect to the bike :) Infinite usefullness.

@arnan I’m not allowed to modify anything in n the garage, that’s why I bought a CS Free. Otherwise I would’ve bought a cheaper one.

@ollej Well, nothing an extension cord can’t fix then.
Looked up that ctek cs free thing,
It appears that my $25 charger is more flexible though heh.
