Can I use a battery tender on my lithium Stinger battery?
The simple answer is Yes, but not for long term maintenance due to internal battery electronics.
As a reminder April 1, 2016 the (ICAO) The International Civil Aviation Organization has required all lithium batteries to be shipped at no more 30 percent state of charge.
Which means: the lithium battery which used to arrive ready to use will now need to be charged before using. In order to keep the battery healthy you should use a charger specifically created for lithium batteries. We currently have a few that will work. The Noco GENIUS2, Battery Tender's Power Tender for Lithium, or our favorite the OptiMATE for lithium.
