CLK63 AMG Black Series
is this the right CTEK car charger?
dont think a black series requires a special charger but forum research says this is the same as OEM for regular benz models

Amazon.com: CTEK Multi US 3300 12-Volt Smart Battery Charger: Automotive Amazon.com: CTEK Multi US 3300 12-Volt Smart Battery Charger: Automotive


can anyone confirm this works for a black series? im not by my car at the moment

thanks!

Yes it will work just connect it to the battery and leave the pigtail connection in the open. Pretty easy to do.

It will not work with the factory charging connector, but as mentioned you can wire it directly to the battery instead.

I believe the only option is to buy the complete OEM charger as I have not seen the connectors sold separately.

Yep that is the exact same one I run in my CLK BS, it's a really good charger. I run the CTEK in all my vehicles(except SLS), great product.

Noco answered they don’t have adapter for this plug.
is this plug specific to MB ou CTEK ?
I was thinking perhaps CTEK has adapter from this plug to SAE.

Looks like this MB charging connector is female,,

the CTEK connector should be male, isn't..?

pls. forward the CTEK part #, and CTEK connector, i will compare it with my friend's C63 BS CTEK.

(-;ZAYED;-)

I don’t have a CTEK charger. I have a Noco Genius 10 with SAE adapter.

This is the issue.
I asked CTEK if they have an adapter from this plug to SAE. Hope they will have a goof news.

SAE adapter can be found universal,

some models of NACO uses the same adapter with CTEK, but depends which male or female adapter will fit the application required!,,

i had many differ SAE adapters for charging & starter jumping, but depends of the fitment!

My Noco charger has the Noco X-connect plug



But I have a SAE adapter



The idea is to find an adapter from SAE to the plug in my trunk. I don't know the name of this plug. I hope CTEK will be helpfull

I found the answer in an other thread and I'am feeling stupid.

The plug in my trunk is in two parts as posted by =soulsea

hold up, wait a minute, spin it back and reverse it... lol no for real though, is there a plug in the trunk of the C63BS like the CLK63BS, for the OEM CTEK charger to plug into? i've been dying to find out about this for my C63BS, because plugging in the CLK63BS is so much easier...
