FINALLY! Someone who physically indicates which cable goes where and whatnot. Just wasted almost half hour through 5-5 videos looking at people loosen screws and mumble shit NOBODY cares about. Thank you!

[@evlx14]

Much appreciated, glad it helped 👌

[@mperformance3502]

Haha same.

[@ajjaiswal1520]

Very helpful video my man. Got my manual 2023 a couple months ago and i am leaving the country for vacation will definitely be buying and using this. Appreciate it!

[@evlx14]

Glad it helped 🙌. I left mine plugged in all winter, no issues. Congrats on the manual!

[@mattpell5053]

Thanks for this video!! Just bought a CTEK for my 2020 Launch Edition!!

Thanks for checking out the video 🙌 Congrats on your car

Hi, all Supra batteries have to be AGM right? Because mine was changed to a Varta G14 silver dynamic but it doesn’t say AGM. It has to be a AGM right? When charging to didn’t show the AGM light so I pressed MODE and changed it to AGM just like yours show.

[@charles-fq2dw]

is there a portable version of this that does not need a wall outlet? parking garage does not have an outlet.

[@kent4786]

I just bought one Thanks to ur video. So for mode on a Supra you leave it on Normal and AGM Mode?

[@evlx14]

Thanks for checking out the video. Yes, normal AGM

[@kent4786]

Also, do you leave the tender on for 2 to 3 months straight or do you unplug it once the battery reaches full charge at #7..?? Thx

[@evlx14]

@kent4786 It's computer controlled to trickle charge the correct amount when near full. I left it on for 5 months, no issues.

[@kent4786]

Thank you so much 👍

[@Kevin-up8bz]

Thanks so much for the video.. I have a CTEK but different one and there's no AGM mode on mine. I drive a 2023 Z4 which is basically the same car as yours haha do you think it will be just fine with non-AGM mode? Thanks!

[@evlx14]

I would say, get an AGM charger. You've spent a lot of money. Get the right one 🤟

[@mitch7914]

Great video. Just bought the charger for my 2020 Supra

Thanks man. Wasn’t sure where the negative terminal was

That’s why I came here too, haha. Was great to see I can close the hood too, it gets dusty in my garage. I have the same charger and car, perfect video for me.

Hi, I have never used this before so I want to be 100% sure, may I ask for help please? - Does the car need to be locked? I never tried but I'm wondering, if the hood is open will the car let you lock it? - When I lock unlock I can hear noises from engine bay like maybe a fuel pump doing something, will this be a problem if the treacle charger is attached while the car is using energy? - What happens if you turn the car on by accident and forget to unplug? - When putting and removing do you need to follow a specific order i.e. positive first then negative, and in reverse when removing? - Finally, should I set it all up with the CTEK OFF and then power it on? Or should I be adding the clips on the terminals with the CTEK on already? Thanks, sorry for all the questions I am scared of electrical stuff and don't wanna damage my new baby.

[@evlx14]

Thanks for checking out the video 🙌. The car doesn't need to be locked and the hood can be cracked open to let the charge wire out. The car can be locked with the hood unlatched. The initializing sounds you hear, fuel pump, etc., stop after a couple minutes and don't continue using power. The car can be started with the tender still attached and charging without issue. Attach positive first then negative. The tender can be plugged into power when attaching the leads. Once positive and negative are connected, mine automatically recognized the connection and started charging. It also automatically recognized it as an AGM battery without having to change modes on the Ctek. Hope that helps! Enjoy your baby! Too bad it's now winter time. Plenty more Supra videos on my channel 💪.

Why dont you charge directly at battery terminal?

Brought the same unit, first time getting one, hope it works!

I just bought a 2023 Supra and only drive it on the weekends. Do you recommend I still hook it up to a CTEK during the weekdays?

[@evlx14]

For 80 bucks, hell yes. Cheap insurance. Congrats on your car 🙌

[@becool565]

how long do i need to put a battery tender on my car when not driving like 24/7 hr is that safe tender be on supra for 1 week or 1 month straight if i dont plan on driving it for that long or that will over charger the battery even if its float charge?

[@evlx14]

The CTEK battery tender is computer controlled and will charge until full, detect the level, and then trickle charge. I had it on mine for 5 months straight in the winter without issue.

[@becool565]

@@evlx14 my battery is dead and i want to recharge it but not sure how to turn off the alarm on the supra 2020 with a dead battery with out touching the battery it self is there a way to turn off the alarm when i open door to lift the hood so i can hook up tender cause i dont want to jump start the car since that is bad for the Battery longevity

[@lucjanpetroniusz4970]

Everything great,bt remember first you connect positive then negative! Its important

[@evlx14]

Good point 👌

i bought a duralast 15amp charger/maintainer, would that work ?

You'll want to make sure the charger is for AGM batteries. 👍

Absolutely, I run it all winter 🙌

@@evlx14 that’s awesome! Thanks for the info man! I recently just purchased my Supra, and it has been sitting inside the dealership for weeks or months. Battery has died like 3 times already, because I haven’t driven much yet.

[@thedrunkenredneck4898]

@@Ryan-bq1sk Qhwn your battery died did you lose the Auto-Off feature?

[@thedrunkenredneck4898]

what if my CTEK charger doesn't say AGM?

[@evlx14]

You shouldn't use it. You'll want an AGM compliant charger, or it could cause damage from what I've read. Thanks for watching the video 🙌

[@dixienichelson8101]

More!

[@davepaturno4290]

Only 1 week is enough to drain the battery enough so the engine wouldn't start? That would be VERY VERY bad!

[@evlx14]

It probably takes longer, but best to keep it charged 🙌
