The 0.8 Amp CTEK will also charge a depleted battery, it just takes longer than the 4.3 Amp unit. If I have to quick charge a depleted battery, which is seldom, I have a 20 Amp non smart charger which will do it faster.

Per user reviews of the CTEK MUS 4.3 Amp model, it gets too hot to the touch when charging a depleted battery. Is that true from your experience? That would concern me.
