CTEK Comfort Connect Extension Cable: Extending Your Battery Charging Reach

For car enthusiasts and owners of vehicles that require regular battery maintenance, the CTEK (56-304) Comfort Connect Extension Cable is a game-changer. This 8.2-foot extension cable is designed to work seamlessly with CTEK battery chargers, providing the extra reach you need for convenient battery charging and maintenance.

Product Features

Why You Need This Extension Cable

Imagine it’s a cold winter morning, and you need to charge your car’s battery. Without an extension cable, you might have to leave your garage door open, exposing your workspace to the elements. The CTEK Comfort Connect Extension Cable solves this problem, allowing you to keep your charger indoors while still reaching your vehicle’s battery.

Real-World Applications

Users have found creative ways to integrate this extension cable into their charging setups. For instance, one classic car owner shared their experience:

A must have for any CTECK user! This is on my 68 GTO and I have it wired so the comfort connector stays on the battery terminals and comes out of the grill. All you need to do is route it away safely down and through the front grill. I have it secured in such a way I can easily disconnect my car from the wall charger unit and tuck the comfort connector away until I pull the car back in the garage.

Versatility for Different Vehicles

The extension cable’s flexibility makes it suitable for various vehicles, from classic cars to modern sports cars. A Porsche owner shared their setup:

I connected to the battery via the eyelet quick connectors on my Porsche 997.1, see attached picture. Now I can charge my car easily without having to pop open plastic covers and I can close my hood while charging. This extension is crucial for my setup to work, or I can’t reach the wall outlet where I live.

User Tips and Tricks

Some users have found creative solutions to minor issues with the cable. For instance, one user shared a tip about the rubber end cap:

I, like many others here, was disappointed to find out that they did not include a rubber end cap on the extension cable. I thought that I would have to cut the one off of the short battery terminal connector cable that comes with the main charging unit. As it turns out you can actually stretch the small loop that holds the cap on the cable enough to remove it from the cable.

It offers the flexibility and reach needed to make battery maintenance more convenient, especially for vehicles with hard-to-reach batteries or when you want to keep your charger in a specific location. While some users have noted minor issues like cable stiffness or the lack of an included end cap, the overall consensus is that this extension cable is a worthwhile investment for simplifying your battery charging routine.
