Maninder, You may want to save this vid to your favourites for future reference.

I blame cheap Chinese components...

Wes - it's a decoy planted by the competition to discredit these lovely CTEKs. Is the video editor called the Messiah by any chance?

Ctek chargers are made in Vikmanshyttan which is a small village in Dalarna, Sweden and have been since 1997.


They were founded by a Swedish Inventor called Benqt Wahlqvist.




PS: I have owned a Ctek Charger for 5 years, does it's job brilliantly for it's small size.

Welcome brother.

It has been lonely and depressing here amongst the heretics who just cannot see when someone is trying to save them from themselves.

It is great to have the company of another who appreciates elegance and sophistication.

Designed in Sweden and assembled in China...
