Hi,

Has anybody experienced problems with their CTEK charger not working at all?

When I connect my 25000 to the 24v outlet or the battery or both - none of the lights light up.

I have experienced this problem in the past but I have disconnected and re-connected it a couple of time and it has started working. This time no go. Is it cactus?

Regards,
David.

Never had a problem, but the simplest answer could be a break in the 240 volt wire either at the plug or where it enters the unit.

Give it a wriggle while plugged in and see if the lights come on.

Hi David,

I had the same problem 2 months ago. I turned it off and on about 6 times and it would not work. I rang the agent Bainbridge Technologies in Brisbane and they replaced it FOC.

Regards,

Peter

Do you know how old yours was? I will have to try and find the receipt.

I am not sure. I think I will try what P&P suggested and call Bainbridge Technologies.

"When I connect my 25000 to the 24v outlet or the battery or both - none of the lights light up."

The 25000 Ctek is only 12 volt charger and not 24 voltv so this could be your problem.

I too recently had a problem with my CTEK. Dodgy wiring as far as I could work out. Returned to Repco who in turn sent back to CTEK. All replaced with a brand new one under warranty. Great product with exceptional after sales service. Repco likewise were fantastic and didn't even bat an eye lid when I returned it.

I had a CTEK 7000 replaced after it blew the board internally. It was out of warranty when they replaced it,though it took a bit of grizzling

Generally pretty good service from them.

CHeers,

Mark

Sorry to but in on your thread. I may be in the market for the same charger shortly, if I buy it on ebay and have an issue would I still contact Bainbridge Technologies direct?

Thanks Lyndon

Hi lyndon NT,

I would suggest ringing Bainbridge Technologies (you need to speak to Danial in warranty) and check the serial number of the unit you have against our database.

We log all units recieved from CTEK and dispatched to our customers, and most of the ebay sellers are not our customers.

By providing us with the serial number (located on the underside of the unit usually 4 letters followed by a series of numbers) we can determine if the unit is a Bainbridge supported CTEK and also its age.

If you simply return the unit and it does not match our records, it will be returned to you at your cost.

One of many pitfalls of shopping on ebay.

Cheers,

Justin Welsh

Hello David

The MXS 25000 is a 12V charger and the problems you're experiencing will occur when trying to charge a 24V outlet.

Does it work if you connect it to a 12V outlet?

I work for CTEK, so please drop me a line if you have any other questions.

Thanks
Adam

Sorry Adam,

What I meant to say was;

"When I connect my 25000 to the 240v outlet or the battery or both - none of the lights light up"

I meant 240v AC not 24v DC.

Thanks,
David.

UPDATE: Just rang Bainbridge in Brisbane and they advised that it was still under warranty. They advised to drop it back to a Battery Work and they would dispatch it to Bainbridge. I also talked to their tech support and they advised it was probably a faulty soft reset circuit breaker.

Great service so far.

Regards,
David.
