If you're laying up your BMW or MINI for winter, storing a track car, or just want to keep the battery healthy between drives, this is the charger BMW spec'd for the job. It's the OEM smart charger built specifically for BMW and MINI vehicles, developed with CTEK and sold under BMW's own part number.
The difference between this and a generic charger matters. This unit reads your specific battery type, automatically selects the correct charge profile, and communicates the whole process over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi through the BMW app. It handles lead-acid in every configuration and LiFePO4 lithium batteries, delivers 8 amps of output, and carries a 24-month BMW warranty. Set it, forget it, and come back to a battery that's ready.
