Yes they will,we have an old RAV4 that sits for weeks and drains it’s battery there is an electrical fault somewhere, so the ctek is the cheapest solution (compared to trying to diagnose the issue on a 15 year old car) I have a ctek monitor to fit to it but not managed to get round to it yet....... it will however be installed in one of the switch blanks in the cabin either near gear stick or headlight switch.......currently unlatch the bonnet when parking it so we can put it on charge easily.
