"Vehicle customization and personalization has been growing worldwide," said Linda Spencer, SEMA director of international and government relations. "The GMA program taps top international media experts to weigh in on which new products are likely to succeed in their home markets. The global automotive specialty-equipment market is made up of enthusiasts who are passionate about the hobby. This passion can be found not only throughout the United States but also in countless spots around the globe including in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Melbourne Australia and Stockholm, Sweden."

This year's program included 23 esteemed judges from seven countries. Each judge carefully reviewed and evaluated nearly 2,000 product entries at the SEMA Show before selecting the products that they felt would resonate and appeal most to consumers in their home countries.

"Having used CTEK chargers for a number of years, voting for the CS FREE was a very easy choice for me," said Mike Rysiecki, feature writer at Fast Ford, Auto Italia and Retro Ford magazines. "The CS FREE is a good choice for many different use cases in my home market of the UK and Europe, from car aficionados, off-road enthusiasts, motorcyclists and more."

The CS FREE is four cutting edge products in one portable unit – Adaptive Booster, battery charger, smart maintainer, and hi-tech power bank. The Adaptive Boost works out the safest way to power up your dead battery to get you going within 15 minutes. Usethe CS FREE as a portable charger to top up your battery, connect to a power outlet, or hook up to a solar panel kit or 12V battery for complete charging freedom anywhere you go. As a Smart Maintainer, it keeps your battery in peak condition at home or off-grid. And when used as a hi-tech power bank, it tops up your laptops, smartphones, tablets, and cameras whenever you need it.

The CS FREE is smart and simple to use – no buttons or modes, just clear, easy-to-read displays. Countdown LEDs show the time left before the battery is fully charged, and it charges and maintains all types of 12V lead-acid and lithium (LiFePO4) batteries. A complete range of accessories is available for handy storage and to give users complete freedom from a power outlet.

"We couldn't be happier about the CS FREE being recognized by international journalists as a product they viewed as having immense value for customers in their home countries," said Bobbie DuMelle, executive vice president at CTEK. "As the company that invented battery charging technology, our teams work tirelessly to continue innovating and seek to provide customers the kind of freedom and flexibility they desire when it comes to battery maintenance. Validation in the form of awards such as these are cherished by our entire company."
