So, after purchasing the CTek charger, which is supposed to tell you your battery is faulty and won't charge, if it won't hold a charge didn't work.
I purchased the comfort panel so I could see when the battery needed a boost by looking.
The divice told me my battery was in need of a full charge, so I did the full recond charge, all the lights told me the battery was fine, did the full cycle including recond, great I thought I don't need a new battery as the charger didn't come up with errors during the full cycle.
I disconnected the charger and immediately my comfort panel went to red, indicating that the battery needed a full charge.
So in my opinion the charger doesn't do what it says on the box, or what the video says on the website.
Consequently, I have just had to replace the battery with a new one.
Just as a foot note, the battery is the original Volvo battery. It has the date written on the Volvo label of 2007, amazing lifespan!!!!
