Yo, what’s good y’all? It’s your boy Matthew here, and I gotta tell you a little story about the time I thought I was a damn genius when it came to charging my car battery.<\/p>\n

So I go out to my garage one day, and I’m like “alright, time to charge that battery up so I can take my baby for a spin.”<\/p>\n

I plug in the CTEK<\/a> charger, and I’m feeling pretty good about myself. I’m like “alright, this is going to take a minute, I’ll just go inside and watch some TV.”<\/p>\n

Fast forward a few hours, and I’m like “alright, let’s see if that battery’s charged up yet.” I go out to the garage and I see the CTEK charger<\/a>, and there’s this little red light blinkin’ away. And I’m like “oh, that’s cool, it’s charging.<\/p>\n

” So I go back inside and watch some more TV.<\/p>\n

A few more hours go by, and I’m like “alright, let’s see if that battery’s charged<\/a> up yet.” I go out to the garage and I see the CTEK charger, and that little red light is still blinkin’.<\/p>\n

And I’m like “wait a minute, what the hell is going on here?” I’m starting to get a little worried, so I start doing some research.<\/p>\n

And that’s when I find out that the red light on the CTEK charger doesn’t actually mean that it’s charging the battery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It means that there’s something wrong with the battery or the charger.<\/p>\n

So yeah, I felt like an idiot. But on the bright side, I learned a valuable lesson about how to read a battery charger indicator. And that’s why I’m writing this article, to help y’all avoid making the same mistake that I did.<\/p>\n
