Yes, but it doesn't say trickle, which is what we're discussing. Do keep up. ;)

I use the CT5 CTEK Start/Stop Maintainer / Charger. It's a nice little product, works well, gives piece of mind.

I think this is basically a rebadged Ctek. I have used a couple of Accumate chargers on my TVRs without issues and would recommend

It is a re-badged Ctek, I used an Accumate on my TVR's however they are quiet basic and do not have an AGM battery type selection so switched to a Ctek with the F-Type

Agree with SCM expensive way to buy Ctek, however the price includes fitting and unit covered under warranty. The fitting includes the connection socket in boot. Once you take off the hour of labour to fit the unit is not that expensive, it Jaguar labour rate that,s expensive.

I've been using the Ctek 5.0 mxs for few years now , no problems , does give off a buzzing noise when temperature gets below 0 in winter but no problems, positive connected to busbar in the boot and negative to ground as picture, connecting to the busbar keeps the rear and front battery charged, I fitted a CTEK comfort panel with LED light indicator in rear same as video, easy plugged in and out , the boot can be closed on the lead as it doesn't do it any damage but keep it away from the latch.
