Charge Your Car Day 2025: CTEK Says Never Stop Charging

Charge You Car Day is Sunday, October 5th

CHICAGO, Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunday, October 5th marks Charge Your Car Day, and CTEK, the global leader in smart battery charging solutions, is reminding North American drivers that battery care shouldn't be a once-a-year event. Their message is simple: Never Stop Charging.

As it's Charge Your Car Day, CTEK is taking the opportunity to encourages drivers to commit to making regular battery charging a part of their routine to prevent breakdowns, enhance vehicle performance, prolong battery life, and save money.

To help clear up common misconceptions, CTEK is debunking five outdated battery myths that could be putting your car—and your wallet—at risk:

Myth 1: If my car starts, the battery must be fine.
Busted: Even if your car starts, your battery could be slowly deteriorating. Modern vehicles draw power constantly—even when parked—leading to silent battery drain that often goes unnoticed until it's too late.

Myth 2: Battery failure is rare.
Busted: Battery failure is actually the #1 cause of vehicle breakdowns, responsible for about 40% of roadside assistance calls. Most drivers only discover their battery is failing when they're stranded.

Myth 3: My alternator keeps the battery charged.
Busted: Not always. Short trips and infrequent driving don't give the alternator enough time to recharge the battery. Plus, advanced vehicle tech like stop-start systems can drain more power than the alternator replaces.

Myth 4: Car batteries last for years without maintenance.
Busted: Without regular charging, battery life shortens significantly. Using a smart charger like CTEK's can triple your battery's lifespan—saving time, money, and hassle.

Myth 5: Charging is complicated and only for experts.
Busted: Not with CTEK. Trusted by over 50 top car brands including Lamborghini, Porsche, and McLaren, CTEK's smart chargers are safe, simple, and automatic—perfect for any driver.

This Charge Your Car Day, CTEK encourages drivers to adopt a simple habit: plug in a smart charger regularly to keep your battery at peak performance. It's the easiest way to avoid battery failure, improve vehicle performance, and extend battery life.

A fully charged battery powers everything better—from essential systems to comfort features like air conditioning. And with winter approaching, battery care becomes even more critical. Research shows that 1 in 3 vehicles entering service shops has a battery that needs attention—a number that jumps to over 50% in colder months.

"Charge Your Car Day on October 5 is a great opportunity for drivers across North America to embrace smarter car care. A dead battery can ruin your day—or cost you more than you expect," said Steve Hayes, Head of North America. "If you already have a charger, take it out and use it. If not, investing in one will save you time and money in the long run. With CTEK, battery maintenance is simple –click here to find the best charger for you. Just connect, and the charger does the rest. It's time to 'Never Stop Charging.'"

CTEK chargers are recognized worldwide for their reliability and performance. This Charge Your Car Day, treat your vehicle—and yourself—by choosing to Never Stop Charging.
