I’ve not used the ctek but have an AA branded one I used in my Caravelle and Smart to good effect (even though the output is minimal ~5W)
I’ve also fitted a Hellfrauds one to an SLK that sits for weeks on end and that keeps the battery perfect.

I must get around to setting up my 140W solar panel and MPPT charge controller off the boat to charge the cars in France. Can retire the Maypoles then. The solar set up is far more powerful and free...

Nah, it's designed to charge a bank of batteries over a long period.

Just means they'll charge from flat faster
