Purchased this product for not it's intended use but works great for my intended use! I have it hooked up to the house battery of my RV to monitor the battery status. Quick install and showing green so it works great. A+

Installed it on my fifth wheel RV to keep an idea of the house battery charge. Its still working great!



by:

I bought two of these one for the dump trailer and one for atv works real good. Also bought the charger to go with it



by:

Used on my 2017 Polaris ranger, this plug will snap right into vacant spot on dash.



by:

Awesome addition to my lawn tractor. Already had the CTEK charger so it made maintaining the battery easy. Love the battery indicator on it too, the led blinks every few seconds showing battery level.



by:

Well made and very easy install, I've been using it for 1 year without any issues.
Mounted on my side by side



by:

So far so good. Seems very well designed, easy install and working well.

Yet another good reason I do business with etrailer, you actually follow up. You do know that most companies talk about doing that but never do, right ? The CTEK still working great, one of the best things about it is the level of charge monitor. All I have to do is look and see if its a green or yellow flashing LED and charge if yellow.



by:

Found this item extremely useful. Can now plug in battery charger easily without having to lift hood of vehicle.



by:

Added two of these to my battery box, one to my 4-wheeler. Plan to pick up more now for my other vehicles as I'm always wondering, now I can just take a quick look and off on my way.



by:

We have installed several of these now. At a glance you can see the battery condition and charge as needed. Time saving, quality and very efficient. Will continue to use as we see a need.



by:

The product was an easy buy as I already have the CTEK charger and it will keep informed of the battery condition in my Polaris RZR.



by:

Product arrived very fast and is just as described. Customer service is very helpful when I needed questions answered. Thank you.



by:

So far so good. nice little unit ( it is little ) which is nice its not very noticeable...



by:

Product and service is excellent!

Love this thing! tells you at a glance what the state of charge of your tractor or truck's battery is, so you can quickly hook up the CTEK charger to bring the battery back up. Ingenius little pigtail loop!



by:

good products , was worried when i saw shipping by USPS



by:

I must admit that every time I have dealt with you, you have been very prompt in your attention to fulfill the order and have it delivered very promptly.
It is my extreme pleasure to do business with you and I shall continue to do business with you in the future. Have a great day ~



by:

The CTEK 'Indicator' extension cable makes it easy to view the status of your battery and provides an easy connection point for engaging the charger when required.



by:

I especially like the little rubber cover that goes over the plug when not in use.



by:

I wanted to change the ring terminals to spring clips on my battery charger. I found exactly what I needed at etrailer. They arrived in four days and are now in service and working great.The clips with leads attached are very nice quality and were reasonably priced. I’ll definitely look to etrailer for future needs.



by:

Works perfectly—had one on my Indian Chief Classic for last couple years, nice to see the lights on the connector giving an actual battery condition.



by:

Product as described, Seller easy to deal with. Fast shipping.

  • CTEK Battery Charger Memory Settings
    I checked with CTEK and they confirmed that the CTEK MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger w/ Pulse Maintenance and Backup Power # CTEK56353 will keep your settings stored as long as they are connected to power. However, if they lose power through being unplugged, a power outage, tripped breaker, etc., you will have to go back and reset the charger to your desired settings.

  • Recommended Battery Charge State Monitor for Trailer Battery
    I do have an option for you though we don't really carry standalone battery charge monitors. That said, we do still have options such as the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable part # CTEK56380 which does not provide the exact voltage but does give a very easy to read three level indicator for battery charge state.

  • What Makes a CTEK Battery Charger Better than a Regular Trickle Charger
    Traditional battery chargers provide voltage/amperage to a battery but they can overcharge and damage the battery. CTEK chargers such as # CTEK56830 provide power to the battery but will not overcharge it. They also recondition the battery so you get the most life out of it. So a CTEK charger is like your Mercedes and a regular charger is like a Yugo. This particular charger has 7 stages of charging (other chargers have one): 1) Desulfation stage is the initial charging phase. This stage...

  • Could CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable # CTEK56380 Monitor Battery of RV
    Yes, you could use the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable # CTEK56380 to monitor the house battery of your RV and leave it permanently installed. There'd be no reason this wouldn't work.

  • Will the CTEK Multi US 7002 Battery Charger Restart and Reset Automatically?
    I checked with CTEK and they confirmed that the CTEK MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger w/ Pulse Maintenance and Backup Power # CTEK56353 will restart automatically. However, if you do lose power through being unplugged, a power outage, tripped breaker, etc., you will have to go back and reset the charger to your desired settings. This charger is also safe to use with the delicate electrical system on your 2016 Mercedes Benz B250

  • Will CTEK Battery Health Indicator Work When Not Plugged into Charger
    I believe you are asking if the battery health indicator needs to be plugged into the charger in order for it to work, is that correct? The CTEK Battery-Health Indicator does not need to be plugged into a CTEK battery charger in order for it to work. As you can see in the video I have linked you to, you can leave the indicator in place permanently so you can check on the charge level of your battery at any time. To charge the battery, simply plug your CTEK charger into any 110v outlet,...

  • Battery Health Indicator Option for RV Battery
    We have the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable w/ Panel Box # CTEK56380 that would most likely work for you. This is normally used with a CTEK battery charger like the # CTEK56353. We don't carry Jaygee Products at this time.

  • Options for Routing the Wires of CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable # CTEK56380 Through Firewall
    You have a couple options if there isn't a hole large enough for the fuse holder of the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable # CTEK56380 to fit through the firewall. You can drill your own hole large enough for the fuse holder to fit, or like you said, you could cut the wires and then reconnect them once they passed through the firewall. Check out the install video I attached to give you an idea how it installs.

  • Will Indicator Light on CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable Drain Battery
    The indicator light on the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable # CTEK56380 does stay lit the entire time. It is designed this way and while it obviously draws power it will not be enough to drain a battery that is used normally. The light draws only a few milliamps and therefore would take months of the vehicle just sitting to drain its battery.

  • Is There A Way To Monitor The Battery Charge Level Of The Battery In My Dump Trailer
    We do have an option to monitor the battery power level, but this will just have the one function, unfortunately. With that being said, the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable w/ Panel Box # CTEK56380 will have the standard green (good), yellow (needs to be charged), and red (dead battery) and actually has the CTEK Comfort Connect port so you can connect something like the CTEK MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger w/ Pulse Maintenance # CTEK56353 as a charger if needed. We...

  • Length of Battery Cables for the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable w/ Panel Box # CTEK56380
    Yes, the battery cable length for both cables on the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable w/ Panel Box # CTEK56380 is 5'. If you check out the linked installation video for the 2007 Ford Mustang you can see that they are connected together to make them easier to run to the battery. If you don't already have the charger end of it I recommend part # CTEK56353.

  • What Are Voltage Levels on the CTEK Battery Health Indicator
    I reached out to the manufacturer to help me answer this question. An they said, the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable # CTEK56380 does not provide a voltage rating for each of those stages. However they did provide me with some helpful information: Green Light = 80% or Higher Yellow Light = 60% up to 80% Red Light = Less than 60%

  • Does CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable Have a Warranty?
    Yes, the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable w/ Panel Box for 12-Volt Comfort Connect Chargers # CTEK56380 comes with a 5-year warranty. It works with all CTEK 12V Comfort Connect chargers; I've added links to video reviews of this part for you to take a look at.

  • Will CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable Work with Aftermarket Rocker Switch Panel
    The CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable, part # CTEK56380, isn't designed to be used with an aftermarket rocker switch panel so you would likely need to make modifications to make it fit.

  • Is Mercedes Benz Brand Battery Charger Same as CTEK
    The Mercedes Benz brand of charger is basically a CTEK charger very similar to the CTEK MULTI US 4.3 Universal 12-Volt Battery Charger # CTEK56353. The Mercedes charger though puts out a charge of 5 amps and this is 4.3 amps. The Mercedes charger does not have a motorcycle battery option though. They are VERY close but slightly different. For the money though the CTEK is the better option.

  • Recommended Charger for Breakaway Kit Battery When Storing for Long Periods of Time
    If your trailer won't be getting used very often, it is wise to use a maintainer charger on your trailer battery and breakaway battery to keep them in good working order. I recommend using a battery charger like the NOCO Genius # 329-GENIUS5 so it will maintain your battery. This will make it so you can simply plug it in when storing it and you can be sure it will work well when you are ready to tow.

  • Will CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable, # CTEK56380 Work with Dual Batteries
    There are 2 ways that batteries can be connection: in parallel or in series. If the batteries are in parallel they will have 12 volts output. If they are in series then they put out the combined voltage (two 12 volt batteries would put out 24 volts). Provided that the batteries are connected in parallel and have an output of 12 volts then you can use the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable, # CTEK56380. If the batteries are in a series then you would need one for each battery. When charging...

  • Battery Life Indicator Recommendation for Trailer Battery
    For a battery health indicator we have the CTEK part # CTEK56380 which would work well for your application. The wiring would have to be extended to the rear of your vehicle and then to the trailer battery. The brake controller you mentioned would not give a read out of the battery life of the trailer.

  • Will Indicator Light on CTEK Panel Box # CTEK56380 Always Be Lit
    I contacted our representative at CTEK about the Indicator Cable w/ Panel Box # CTEK56380. He informed me that the indicator light will always be lit. The Panel Box can be used with all CTEK Comfort Connect 12V chargers.

  • Installing CTEK Battery Health Indicator # CTEK56380 in Outside Wall of Horse Trailer
    The CTEK Battery-Health Indicator you referenced features a rubber plug to exclude moisture and dirt from the connector where the charger would plug in, but I wanted to call CTEK to ensure that the item would hold up when installed in an area where it would be exposed to the weather. According to the fine folks at CTEK, installing the Indicator to the outside of the trailer would be perfectly acceptable and should work just fine for you.

  • Will the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Drain My Battery
    The CTEK Battery-Health Indicator, part # CTEK56380, does techincally draw power because of the indicator light. However, the power draw is so low it will take months of non-use before it drains your battery.

  • Mounting Dimensions for Panel with CTEK Battery-Health Indicator # CTEK56380
    The panel for the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable # CTEK56380 referenced in your question requires a 36.8mm by 21mm cutout to mount the panel into place. The panel does include a template in the instructions that you can also use to cut the needed hole. I have attached a sample installation video for this product so you can get a better look at this process.

  • Size of Terminals on CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable # CTEK56380
    The CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable w/ Panel Box # CTEK56380 referenced in your question includes a battery-indicator cable with 8.4mm terminals on one end and the panel box on the other. This will permanently install in your vehicle's dash to give you all the information you need to keep your battery healthy and fully charged. I have attached a sample installation video on this product that you can also check out.

  • How to Install the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable Through the Firewall
    There is not an exact spot on the vehicle in which the CTEK Battery-Health Indicator Cable part # CTEK56380 will need to be ran. However, in order to minimize drilling there will be a pre-drilled hole with a bundle of wires that run from the cab into the engine bay which can be used to thread the cables of this indicator from inside the cab to the battery. The access point will usually be located back behind the driver side of the dash.
