CTEK MXS 5.0 lightning deal

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by 67westy, Nov 25, 2015.

  1. I know there has been a lot of discussion on 12volt setups lately. Just noticed the MXS 5 is on a lightning deal on amazon at 11am for prime members and 30 mins later for non-prime. Current price is £58.45 so it will be less than that.

    Might be worth keeping an eye on if you are looking for a decent charger.

  2. Where do you get the info from? I have prime but havent heard of lightning deals before
     
  3. Yup seems a good buy, I'd get one if it I didn't already have one :) Was hoping they might discount the 7 or 10 as well but unfortunately not this time

    i'm after one but not a member and i think the 5 may be a bit low.....
     
  5. Great Shout!
    Not a prime member n just bagged one. As i see it at that price its got to be better than nothing & I only need it for a starter battery, I will worry about a higher capacity leisure battery charger when/if I buy one.
     
  6. I paid £50 for my MXS 5.0 from Tanya batteries in March 15 so the discount doesn't seem as big as they suggest.
     
  7. I use mine on my leisure battery. Only used for lights and proped so far but not had an issue. Planning on a compressor fridge next year but looking at the average draw the 5amp should cope fine

    i had a 7 in the westy, admittedly the fridge was a big drain but it barely kept up if we had lights on radio on as well etc..... i want to future proof the t5 and get a 7 or 10 but at that price.....
     
  9. I paid £65 from amazon in Feb this year. I think the headline discount is off the RRP
     
  10. LED bulbs are a big help on saving power, our draw went from 3.88amps to 0.55amps. Having those with a modern fridge would probably be a big saving on the current draw

    agree totally, i had way too much off my leisure in the westy and as i say the fridge was the original and i know the draw on that was huge...... to be fair i'd probably be ok with the 5 but i dunno......

    a quick look on evil bay and you can get a 5 for £50 so to save a fiver and buy for the sake of it is what i'd be doing...... i think i'll wait until i get all my electrics in and get a 7 or 10 as planned.
