Here's a way of converting a CTEK plug to be non latching. Helpful for those worried about driving off with a charger attached to the car...
Removing button
You will need a small (but not tiny) flat blade screwdriver.
Best off done on the plug used closest to the car, which might be on the end of an extension lead:
Insert the screwdriver under the edge of the button about 2/3rds of the way along:
Gently lever the button off the pivot. The button and the pivot are plastic so be careful:
Remove the button and the spring and put somewhere safe:
Your plug is now non latching. The plug and socket still fit and hold together perfectly well:
Fitting Button (Reassembly)
To reassemble, first spend 2 weeks hunting down the spring and button :lol:
Put the spring in its seat and push down gently to locate it:
Place the button on the top, locating the peg on top of the spring:
Push down on the button to click it into place on the pivot:
Done!
