Unhappy Aston Martin V8 Vantage Dead Battery

Hello guys, I cannot start 2009 v8 V this afternoon. I think the battery need to change, I tried jump start, but it's doesn't work. I checked online and someone told me CTEK charger is good, but I don't know how to use CTEK battery charger? Could someone tell me more details about that? Thank you

Welcome- One thing at a time. There are way too many issues that seem to come up with a weak, low or poor preforming battery in an Aston. Get a new battery that's spec'd for your car. There are a lot of suggestion about battery maintainers. I use an Aston unit made by C-Teck. Others have good results with non-Aston units including C-Teck branded ones. It's a personal preference, and of course the Aston branded unit is more than triple the cost. Good luck

Hello, I use an Aston Martin unit too (made by C-Teck).
One plug in the car trunk near the fuse box (to the right).
And the other plug on the 230VAC from your home ;-)

Put the charger on the floor, do not place it on a flammable surface ;-)

I keep all of my cars on a Deltran Battery Tender Plus. They work great and are much less expensive than the Ctec. They are battery maintainers and keep the batteries charged. They are made here in Florida and can be bought for under $50.

Cteks maintainers can be had for $40, so Deltran is no special deal.

+ 1 for Deltran units.

I have 5 and they work great. Lawnmowers, Cars, boats, etc. Lots of adapters so they are universal from cig lighter, direct to battery, clamps, some special connectors, ...
