A highly charged new video has dropped on CTEK’s YouTube channel, and it’s a must-see for fans of all things automotive. 

It is about one of the most remarkable collections of historic, classic and wonderful cars and motorcycles – and possibly the largest number of CTEK battery chargers in one place. 

Jay Leno’s Garage contains 212 cars and 186 motorcycles – and almost every one of them is connected to a CTEK battery charger. 

CTEK was recently invited to explore the Californian garage, guided by operations manager John Pera. It’s not the first time CTEK has been welcomed in. Jay was introduced to CTEK’s products on an edition of Jay Leno’s Garage a decade ago. 

The American TV host, comedian and writer has been adding to his amazing collection of restored and preserved vehicles for many years. John showed CTEK’s Adam Palander a 1955 Buick Roadmaster that Jay bought in 1973 when he arrived in California. 

Jay hosted NBC’s The Tonight Show and The Jay Leno Show before launching Jay Leno’s Garage for which he has more than 3.8 million YouTube subscribers. 

John walked Adam around the garage and said: “As you can see, everything is plugged into a CTEK charger. They don’t over charge, they don’t boil out a battery.  

“We do have indicators on a lot of them. It’s nice to see that you get the green light flashing.” 

Our sincere thanks to John and to Jay for this wonderful opportunity.

There’s nothing quite like heading off in a motorhome during summer. Longer days, spontaneous stopovers, coastal roads, mountain campsites and evenings spent outdoors – it’s what motorhome life is all about. But summer adventures also place extra demand on your vehicle’s battery system. Fridges run constantly, lighting stays on later into the evening, phones and devices are always charging and many motorhomes sit unused between trips.
