A Great All-Around Charger
CTEK
offers a wide range of NEW GENERATION battery chargers. Unlike old
battery chargers, CTEK chargers are designed with a focus on simplicity,
safety and flexibility. The MULTI US 3300 is the charger that every
household needs. It is perfectly suited for motorcycles, cars, lawn
mowers, jet skis and any other vehicle with batteries up to 120Ah.
Simply connect it and battery problems are in the past.
Fully automatic for charging and maintenance
There is no need for any specific knowledge of batteries or their
charging methods; the MULTI US 3300 will take care of it. Once switched to
the preferred mode, the charger takes its own readings and then begins
to charge the battery. Once it is finished charging, it will
automatically switch to its maintenance phase CTEKs patented pulse
charging arguably the most caring mode for a battery connected for a
long time. Simply connect it to solve most battery problems from the
past.
Flexible for different battery needs
The MULTI US 3300 is specifically developed for different needs,
vehicles and batteries. There is a choice between three different modes.
The low current mode (the motorcycle icon) is perfect for smaller 12V
batteries such as motorbikes, lawn mowers, jet skies, snowmobiles, etc.
The higher current mode (the car icon) is for automotive or marine
applications with larger batteries. Finally, an additional winter mode
(the snowflake) is specifically aimed at charging and maintenance in
cold weather. It is also perfectly suited for Optima Red Top batteries.
Patented desulphation function
Unused batteries lose their power and their life is shortened through
sulphation. It is also more difficult to charge sulfated batteries. The
MULTI US 3300 has a patented method for reconditioning sulfated
batteries. The charger analyzes the state of the battery and, if
possible, recovers the battery and its power.
Compatible with other electronic equipment
Most vehicles today are equipped with sensitive electronic systems.
Unlike less-sophisticated chargers, there is no need to disconnect the
battery; the MULTI US 3300 is specially designed to not damage
electronic systems.
Made for all weather conditions and situations
The MULTI US 3300 is prepared to charge and maintain, no matter the
weather, temperature or situation. The MULTI US 3300 is extremely robust
and water and dust resistant (IP65 classification). The MULTI US 3300
is certified for use between -4°F and +122°F. In order to make things
easier and more convenient, the Comfort Connect (eyelet terminals) can
be permanently connected to the vehicles battery.
Designed for safety
All CTEK models are designed to consider the safety of the user. They
are spark free, making the connection much easier and safer considering
the gases batteries normally produce. The MULTI US 3300 is also
protected from reverse-polarity connections and is short-circuit proof. A
red light on the charger will simply indicate that the charging cannot
begin until the user has connected the charger correctly.

*) Back current drain is what drains the battery if the charger is connected without the power cord connected.
**) Ripple describes the quality of the current and voltage. A high
current ripple heats the battery and shortens its life. A linear charger
has a current ripple of 70-400% which is much larger than the maximum
5% for a modern sealed battery. High voltage ripple could harm other
equipment that is connected to the battery. MULTI US 3300 delivers
voltage and current with very low ripple. The battery has a long service
life and there is no risk of damage to other electronic devices
connected to the battery.
