Important Notes:
M6 Terminal Size - Verify Compatibility: M6 eyelet terminals feature 6mm bolt holes designed for M6 bolts (6mm diameter). Verify your battery terminals accept M6 bolt connections before purchase. Most automotive batteries use larger posts requiring M8 eyelets (see CTEK Comfort Indicator M8 Eyelet). M6 eyelets are commonly used on: motorcycle batteries with M6 terminal bolts, small marine batteries, some AGM batteries with threaded terminals, and auxiliary batteries with M6 terminal studs. Do not force M6 eyelets onto larger terminals—use correct size for secure connection.
Permanent Installation Required: Unlike clamp-style indicators, eyelet terminals are designed for permanent bolt-on installation to battery terminals. Installation requires: (1) Disconnecting battery negative terminal first (preventing shorts), (2) Removing battery terminal bolts, (3) Installing eyelet terminals under bolts with proper orientation (red to positive, black to negative), (4) Torquing bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically 5-7 Nm for M6), (5) Routing cable to desired indicator panel location, (6) Securing cable away from moving parts and heat sources. Professional installation recommended if unfamiliar with battery terminal connections.
CTEK CONNECT System Compatibility: Features CTEK's proprietary CONNECT system allowing direct charging through indicator without disconnecting eyelet terminals. Compatible only with CTEK battery chargers equipped with CONNECT accessories including MXS 5.0, MXS 10, CT5 TIME TO GO, and other CONNECT-compatible models. Not compatible with standard CTEK chargers lacking CONNECT ports or non-CTEK chargers. Verify charger compatibility before purchasing for integrated charging access.
500mm Cable Length Consideration: The 500mm (0.5 meter) cable provides fixed distance between battery terminals and indicator panel mounting location. Measure required cable routing distance before installation—if indicator panel location exceeds 500mm from battery, this product is unsuitable. Cable cannot be extended as this affects LED indicator operation. Plan indicator panel mounting location within 500mm of battery considering cable routing path avoiding sharp edges, moving parts, and heat sources.
12V Lead-Acid Batteries Only: Designed exclusively for 12V lead-acid battery systems including wet/flooded, maintenance-free, AGM, and gel batteries. Not compatible with 6V batteries, 24V systems, or lithium batteries (LiFePO4, Li-ion). Using with incompatible battery types may produce inaccurate readings or damage indicator electronics. For lithium battery monitoring, consult battery manufacturer for appropriate voltage indicators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between M6 and M8 eyelet indicators and which do I need?
A: M6 and M8 refer to the eyelet terminal bolt hole size: M6 eyelets have 6mm diameter holes for 6mm bolts, commonly found on motorcycle batteries, small marine batteries, and some AGM batteries with threaded terminals. M8 eyelets have 8mm diameter holes for 8mm bolts, commonly used on standard automotive car batteries, truck batteries, and larger marine batteries. To determine which you need: check your battery terminals—if they have threaded studs or require bolts for connection, measure bolt diameter or check battery specifications. Most car batteries use M8, most motorcycles use M6. Using wrong size results in loose connection (too large) or inability to install (too small). If unsure, M6 is this product; search for CTEK Comfort Indicator M8 Eyelet for larger applications.
Q: How do I install the eyelet terminals on my battery?
A: Professional installation process: (1) Disconnect battery - remove negative terminal first (prevents shorts), (2) Remove terminal bolts - loosen/remove existing M6 bolts from battery terminals, (3) Prepare eyelets - identify red eyelet (positive) and black eyelet (negative), (4) Install positive eyelet - place red eyelet over positive terminal stud, reinstall bolt, torque to 5-7 Nm, (5) Install negative eyelet - place black eyelet over negative terminal stud, reinstall bolt, torque to 5-7 Nm, (6) Route cable - secure 500mm cable to desired indicator panel location avoiding sharp edges, moving parts, heat sources, (7) Mount indicator panel - position where easily visible and protected from weather (if applicable), (8) Test operation - verify LED illuminates showing battery status. If unfamiliar with battery terminal work, professional installation strongly recommended.
Q: Can I charge my battery through this indicator and how does it work?
A: Yes, the CTEK CONNECT system allows charging through the indicator without disconnecting eyelet terminals. Process: (1) Verify you have CTEK charger with CONNECT capability (MXS 5.0, MXS 10, CT5 TIME TO GO, etc.), (2) Plug charger's CONNECT cable into indicator panel's CONNECT port, (3) Charger delivers power through indicator and eyelet terminals to battery, (4) When charging complete, unplug charger. This is extremely convenient for batteries in difficult locations—once eyelets are permanently installed, you never need to access battery terminals for charging again. Simply plug charger into accessible indicator panel location. Note: only works with CTEK chargers featuring CONNECT system; standard CTEK chargers without CONNECT ports cannot charge through indicator.
Q: What do I do if the 500mm cable isn't long enough for my installation?
A: The 500mm cable length is fixed and cannot be extended as this would affect LED indicator operation and electrical characteristics. If your required cable routing distance exceeds 500mm from battery to desired indicator panel location, this product is unsuitable. Options: (1) Relocate indicator panel - find mounting location within 500mm of battery, (2) Use clamp-style indicator - CTEK Comfort Indicator Clamps (1M cable) provides longer reach for temporary monitoring, (3) Relocate battery - if possible, reposition battery closer to desired indicator location, (4) Use CTEK CONNECT Eyelet M6 without indicator - install basic CONNECT eyelet for charging access only without status indicator. Measure carefully before purchase ensuring 500mm cable reaches intended indicator mounting location considering actual cable routing path (not straight-line distance).
Q: Will this work on my motorcycle, boat, or caravan battery?
A: Yes, the M6 Eyelet Indicator works with any 12V lead-acid battery with M6 (6mm) terminal connections. It's particularly ideal for: Motorcycles - most motorcycle batteries use M6 terminals and benefit from indicator accessible outside fairings eliminating repeated panel removal. Marine batteries - small to medium marine batteries often use M6 terminals; permanent installation provides convenient monitoring in sealed battery compartments. Caravan auxiliary batteries - ideal for monitoring house batteries in caravan storage compartments. Classic cars - excellent for stored vehicles requiring periodic charge monitoring. However, verify your specific battery has M6 terminals (6mm bolt holes)—if terminals accept 8mm bolts, you need M8 version instead. Battery chemistry (wet, AGM, gel) doesn't matter—all 12V lead-acid types are compatible. Does NOT work with lithium batteries which require different monitoring technology.
