If the battery does need charging, it so very simple to use the "comfort connect" connection from a C Tek charger to connect directly to the device leaving the C Tek charge status lights visible through a window on a seat inside a locked vehicle - genius! There have, sadly, been some negative and ignorant reviews of this product which may needlessly discourage purchase of an otherwise excellent product. Firstly, the need to connect to a permanently live cigarette lighter socket should be obvious - it's not a surprise! Fortunately, the 2 x Skodas within my extended family both have such permanently live sockets and find that this device is so simple to use. Check before buying.! But - even if your car does not have a permanently live socket on dash or centre console - don't give up - check to see if there is a permanently live socket in the boot. Secondly, there are some negative reviews criticizing the voltage value of the Amber/Green threshold. Without wanting to start an online spat, I regard the 12.65V threshold as wholly appropriate for a "fully charged" vs "charge soon" boundary. If your car battery is not above 12.65V it is at least 20-30% discharged and some electric wizardry from a C Tek charger would be beneficial to extend battery life even if not immediately essential to starting the engine. Only downside, £15 is not cheap for what it is, but it could save you hundreds of pounds. Quality has a price. Review: Comfort no Quality, yes - I don't know where comfort comes into this at all! It's a charging device with indicator lights. Very useful for its purpose and simple to fit. Seems good quakity if a tad expensive. It is a good product workswell with the CTEK charger ## Features - Comfort Connect Cig-Plug is a Comfort Indicator designed to work with any 12V accessory (cig socket). Any 12V CTEK char-ger up to 7A can be used with this accessory. As with normal Cig Plug this unit only operates when the socket is ‘live’. - Fits 12mm & 21mm sockets - 400mm length cable - Easy to fit - Complete trouble free solution to charging a car battery through the 12v socket ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009K2QX0U | | Best Sellers Rank | 87,349 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) 397 in Car Battery Charging Units | | Brand | CTEK | | Colour | Black | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,260) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00782645375834, 00859926005213 | | Included Components | Indicator Cig Plug | | Item Dimensions | 23 x 2 x 2 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Vehicle Battery Charger Comfort Indicator | | Item Weight | 0.06 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | CTEK | | Measurement Type | Voltmeter | | Minimum Operating Voltage | 12 Volts | | Model Number | 56-870 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Specification Met | CE | | Style Name | single | | UPC | 782645375834 859926005213 642008170622 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CTEK - **Colour:** Black - **Item weight:** 0.06 Kilograms - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Style:** single ## Images ![CTEK 56-870 Comfort Indicator Cig Plug - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51C7ZhUM-vL.jpg) ![CTEK 56-870 Comfort Indicator Cig Plug - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hbz3FQo9L.jpg) ![CTEK 56-870 Comfort Indicator Cig Plug - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZTiRYLMkL.jpg) ![CTEK 56-870 Comfort Indicator Cig Plug - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718L3hiklTL.jpg) ![CTEK 56-870 Comfort Indicator Cig Plug - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Gx6Yx5OCL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: would this adaptor fit into the smaller Din/Hella type 12v accessory sockets fitted to most motocycles.** A: I have not tried this with a motorcycle fitting. But if this is any help then here goes. The plug is circular with a central pin. it has a removable red sleeve (see photo on Amazon page) revealing a smaller diameter section. The dimensions are:The BIG diameter part (fits standard car socket) and also the red sleeve are 22-24mm or so diameter with 2 springs to make contact with the socket. The length from the BASE of the pin to the end of the BIG section is 32mm.WITHOUT the red sleeve, the diameter of the smaller part is 12-14mm diameter or so with 2 springs to make contact and this section is 12mm long from the base of the pin. The pin is 8mm or so long but pushes in obviously.SO if your motorcycle socket is about 20mm deep and about 15mm diameter it should fit OK. If it does not fit you can always return it for refund. By the way the charger is brilliant - maintains the battery without 'cooking' it. Can recommend. **Q: is there a cable to charge it from a three piont home plug** A: Yes, this little cable just allows you to charge the vehicle through the cigarette lighter rather than connecting it directly to the battery. Your need to search for the CTEK charger unit itself which comes with the 3 pin plug on to plug it into the mains and 2 clips to connect it to the vehicle battery. If you don't want to faff on getting to the battery each time you reconnect the charger this little cable will allow you to just charge the vehicle through the cigarette socket. **Q: Hi does this work with a 2015 citroen c3 picasso thanks and best wishes** A: I think you need to check that the12v socket ( cigarette lighter ) where you intend to connect it too is still Live when the car is switched off, key is removed locked, if it is I’m sure it’ll work Try plugging a phone charger or sat nav into the socket and then switch the car off and remove the key and lock the car if they are still working / charging then the socket is Live. **Q: How does it work with the ignition off?** A: It varies from car to car. If you plug a phone charger or something in and that works with the ignition off, then this should work. If your phone or whatever you plug in doesn’t work with the ignition off, then no it won’t work. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Little Device - Just Not Cheap *by H***R on 18 June 2020* This product provides an extremely simple but accurate way to monitor charge status of a car battery on a rarely used vehicle without even having to "pop the bonnet" to connect a multi meter.
