När man står inför ett urladdat batteri och behöver starthjälp, har förare traditionellt vänt sig till startkablar och en vänlig person med en annan bil. Men det finns ett annat sätt, och det är ett alltmer populärt och bekvämt val: en batteribooster.

Allt fler förare packar med sig en laddad batteribooster i bilen, för den händelse att de drabbas av besväret med ett urladdat batteri. Det är bra att vara förberedd, och den förberedelsen bör inkludera att lära sig hur man använder boostern innan man behöver den.

När behovet uppstår kan det vara mörkt, kallt eller regnigt. Istället för att kämpa med att leta upp instruktioner eller titta på en video vid vägkanten, är det en bra idé att ha ägnat lite tid åt att bekanta dig med boostern och hur den fungerar.

Boosters som CTEK:s RB 3000 och RB 4000 är enkla att använda, men vi rekommenderar att du lär dig hur du använder dem innan du behöver dem. RB3000 ger upp till 30 starthjälper på en enda 2,5 timmars laddning, RB4000 upp till 45 efter laddning i bara 3,5 timmar. När de är fulladdade håller de ström i upp till sex månader. Båda är kompakta, lätta att transportera och lätta nog att ta med överallt.

Steg-för-steg: hur man boostar ett bilbatteri

  • Kontrollera omgivningen: se till att din bil är säkert parkerad och att nycklarna är borttagna från tändningen
  • Förbered din booster: kontrollera laddningsnivån
  • Anslut klämmorna: fäst den röda klämman till pluspolen (+) på batteriet och den svarta klämman till en jordpunkt på din bil. Vissa bilar har en särskild anslutningspunkt för detta. Om det inte finns något annat alternativ, använd minuspolen (–) på batteriet. Se till att klämmorna sitter säkert och inte rör varandra
  • Slå på boostern och försök starta fordonet
  • Ta bort boostern: när motorn går, stäng av boostern och koppla bort den, börja med den svarta klämman och sedan den röda.

Varför en booster är bättre än startkablar

En dedikerad booster är inte bara enkel att använda utan också säkrare och mer tillförlitlig än startkablar och ett andra fordon. Det andra fordonet kommer inte alltid att vara tillgängligt, och det finns risk för felaktig anslutning. Boosters som RB 3000 och RB 4000 har inbyggda säkerhetsmekanismer för att skydda både dig och ditt fordon, vilket gör dem idealiska för moderna bilar med avancerade system.

Avancerade boosters som RB 3000 och RB 4000 får dig inte bara tillbaka på vägen inom några minuter utan har också andra användbara funktioner. RB-seriens boosters fungerar som mångsidiga powerbanks för dina elektroniska enheter och inkluderar en inbyggd multi-mode-lampa för ökad bekvämlighet och för användning som varningsfyr.

CTEK becomes EV charging partner to the Swedish Ski Association

CTEK has entered into a new agreement with the Swedish Ski Association, providing CC3 EV charging infrastructure at Riksskidstadion in Falun, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. Delivered alongside installation partner Kalema e-Mobility, the charging solutions will support electric passenger cars and support vehicles used by athletes, coaches, staff and the wider organisation. Falun, Sweden – CTEK, a global leader in battery charging and electric vehicle charging, has entered into a new agreement with the Swedish Ski Association to provide EV charging infrastructure at Riksskidstadion in Falun, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. Under the agreement, CTEK is providing charging solutions from its CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 (CC3) product family. The project is being delivered alongside installation partner Kalema e-Mobility, which is carrying out the installations at Riksskidstadion, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. The chargers will support electric passenger cars and support vehicles used by athletes, coaches and staff, as well as other electric vehicles operated by the Swedish Ski Association. They will provide reliable and convenient charging when vehicles are at Riksskidstadion, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena or the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office, supporting the Association’s continued transition towards more sustainable transport. For the Swedish Ski Association, the drive to constantly improve goes beyond athletic performance. The Association believes it is equally important to keep improving the smart, climate-friendly solutions that support its everyday operations. “We are delighted to work with the Swedish Ski Association as its EV charging partner. Elite sport depends not only on what happens on the track or slopes, but also on the people, vehicles and infrastructure working behind the scenes. By providing our CC3 charging technology and working alongside Kalema e-Mobility, we can help support the Association’s everyday operations and its transition towards more electrified transport,” said Johanna Mogren Sundqvist, Sales Manager EVSE at CTEK. Developed in Sweden for professional EV charging, CC3 can be adapted to different organisations, vehicle requirements and parking environments. The EV chargers can provide up to 22 kW per outlet and support connectivity and load balancing. This allows the available electrical capacity to be used efficiently while enabling the charging infrastructure to expand as the Swedish Ski Association’s requirements grow. "For us, this investment is about creating the conditions for a smarter and more sustainable operation. Our athletes, coaches and staff travel extensively throughout the year, and reliable charging infrastructure is becoming an increasingly important part of our everyday operations. CTEK combines proven technology with strong local roots in Dalarna, making them a natural supplier as we continue to develop our organisation and reduce the environmental impact of our transport solutions," said Johan Gräfnings, Swedish Ski Association. The agreement connects CTEK’s home in Falun, Dalarna, with the Swedish Ski Association’s activities at Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and its Åre office in Jämtland. For CTEK, it is an opportunity to support the Swedish Ski Association and its national teams with technology that makes a practical difference behind the scenes. The collaboration will also give CTEK agreed brand visibility across the Swedish Ski Association’s activities.
