- How to attach a CTEK MXS 5.0 to a Ford Focus RS.
This is also how to jump start the RS if the battery is not working.
Here is a link to the CTEK MXS 5.0:

Great video man
Thank You. What year and color RS do you have?
@@mxtv1258 I’ve actually got a 2016 Mercedes E Class but I’m clueless as to using the Ctek battery charge ; your video helped a lot
@@thepatientone1127 I am glad it helped👍👍👍
Here's my question. I'd like one that also has a reserve charge. Meaning if I left the dome light on in the summer "Noco not plugged in" will the Noco have act as a booster to jump start it?
Unfortunately, it will not charge a battery that is depleted. It doesn’t have enough power. You would need some type of jump starter.
Good info! Now do one about how to change a flat tire with no jack or spare tire.
You explain things well but what I needed to see was how to connect the Ctek eyelets. :( ...Could you do a video showing that?
But you are not jump starting the car you are charging the battery. Jump starting is an entirely different scenario using a power pack or spare battery with jump leads.
Also don't leave the Cetek on the ground outside as it will be damaged if it rains. Check out numerous videos on this model.
I don’t know. I will check the owners manual when I get home. I do know the RS comes with a Tire inflator in the trunk/hatch area. I will check FocusRS.org. I think some of the owners have bought spare tires. I am guessing they are the space saver tires. I will look into this further.
@Nag Ger I never did make a video about this. I wasn’t sure what makes the most sense for me. Can you make a short video or if you live in the Chicago area I can make a video of your setup.
Is the stock Focus RS battery an AGM battery?
Not that I am aware of. I am not sure of the type of battery.
Hi can you close the hood and lock the car with the ctek still charging?
You can lock the car doors but you cannot close the hood and latch it. The hood is up about an inch or maybe 25 millimeters.
Can you use the CTEK for jump starts?
I am not sure if it can jumpstart a car. I tried doing that with my Corvette when the battery was dead. If the CTEK MXS 5.0 can jumpstart a car I couldn’t figure out how.
I was able to use my Schumacher Jump Pack to start the Corvette when the battery stopped working on my Corvette. I attached the cables the same way I did in the video.
You should change the video title to include "jump start" so if people search for it, your video will come up
Thanks and I am going to do that. That’s a good idea👍👍👍 I made the change if it doesn’t sound correct let me know. Thanks again👍👍👍
2011 bmw battery died
If the CTEK MXS 5.0 doesn’t work you are probably replacing the battery, I don’t think the CTEK can bring it back to life.
