CTEK MXS 5.0
I've used a CTEK MXS 5.0 with the Comfort Indicator Eyelet mounted on the battery in the trunk for about 4 years. It has maintained the original factory battery on my 15 Z28. I'm the original owner, so that contributed to the longevity of the original battery, but the CTEK has preserved it. The battery was starting hard when I installed it, but if fires consistently as when it was new since I started using the CTEK. The car can sit for 2-3 weeks without being turned over, but it fires right up. The car has always been garaged.

And if I'm going to drive it today, and then tomorrow, I don't even hook the car up. I only use them to maintain them while stored for any length of time and NEVER had a problem there with the way I use them. I can agree that the regular BTs are garbage. They just quit working. The recondition setting is a total waste of time on an AGM battery since it does nothing to actually recondition it. Maybe in your mind it does and if you can sleep better by doing it, knock yourself out. It was engineered for flooded batteries to help with acid stratification issues (not to be confused with sulphation), which the design of the AGMs inherently eliminated.
