I don't know if it's helped my battery extend its life since it's only 2 years old. Ctek recommends that you do a refurb once or twice a year, I think.

The Ctek was the best out there when I bought, but maybe there's newer/better technology out there, I don't know.

Every now and then Ctek similar charger turn up at discount stores, very popular on the forums here - seem to work well, but they will not charge below a certain voltage as battery not recognised.
