CTEK MUS 4.3
The MUS 4.3 is a charger that offers state of the art technology that
was previously only found in CTEK’s professional product range. The
charger can solve a broad range of battery-related problems and
is the perfect charger for those with high demands. The MUS 4.3
offers features such as battery diagnosis that shows if a battery can
receive and retain a charge, a special reconditioning function that
restores stratified and deeply discharged batteries, unique mainte-
nance charging, a mode for optimised charging during cold winter
days and the charging of demanding AGM batteries (i.e. Optima).
The unique display allows the user to follow the entire charging pro-
cess.
The MUS 4.3 is a fully automatic 8-step charger that delivers se-
lectable 0.8 A or 4.3 A to 12 V batteries from 1.2–110 Ah and
is suitable for maintenance charging up to 160 Ah. The charger is
splash and dust proof, designed to protect vehicle electronics and
non-sparking, reverse polarity protected and short-circuit proof. It is
delivered with a 5-year warranty.

Summary

New Generation Technology

Technical Data

CTEKs Unique 8 Step Charging Process

Step 1: Desulphation

Pulsing voltage removes sulphates from the lead plates, restoring battery capacity.

Step 2: Soft Start

Tests if the battery can accept charge. Charging begins if the battery is OK.

Step 3: Bulk Charging

Charging with maximum current until approximately 80% battery capacity.

Step 4: Absorption Charging

Charging with declining current to maximize up to 100% battery capacity.

Step 5: Analyse

Tests if the battery can hold charge. Batteries that cannot hold charge may need to be replaced.

Step 6: Recondition

Reconditioning function for deeply discharged batteries.

Step 7: Float Charging

Maintaining the battery voltage at maximum level by providing a constant voltage charge.

Step 8: Pulse Maintenance Charging

Maintaining the battery at 95-100% capacity. The charger monitors the battery voltage and gives a pulse when necessary.
