Smart battery charging, ensuring optimal battery health and longevity for various vehicles and battery types

5 June 2025

Das Auto Car Storage is a secure facility found just outside Glasgow, Scotland offering storage for cars, motorcycles, boats, motorhomes and much more. With over 25 vehicles in storage, ranging from Classics to Supercars, the team at Das Auto need a range of smart solutions to their battery charging and maintenance procedures.

When customers decide to store their pride and joy for any reason, they are inevitably keeping it off the road for extended periods. The team at Das Auto believe that checking and boosting every so often is simply not enough to guarantee the battery will not suffer, or even worse, self-discharge to a critical level. 

Vehicle batteries never really stop working, particularly on new and performance vehicles. Long after you have turned off the engine, the battery continues to supply countless electrical components with the power they need, from engine management systems and sat nav to alarm, clock, keyless entry systems and much more. Due to this constant demand, batteries can become drained in a matter of weeks if not supported in the correct manner and use of a battery charger.

Grant Campbell, Partner Manager at Das Auto said: “For every customer who trusts us with their beloved vehicle, we recommend the use of a charger to support battery power levels. Battery care is an essential implementation of the service we provide at Das Auto, and one critical factor is keeping every vehicle on a battery charger and maintainer, like the CS ONE we recently attached to a Lamborghini Huracán STO. 

We chose CTEK chargers because of the quality and ease of use. With the CS ONE and its revolutionary APTO™ (Adaptive Charging) technology, it does all the thinking for you – you don’t even have to worry about which clamp goes where or the type of battery installed, car or motorcycle. 

“Before using CTEK chargers, we used to use a different brand of charger, but we felt that the quality just was not there. Now, with our CTEK partnership, we can simply setup, connect and leave them without any worry of over charging.”
