Default Lithium Battery Charger
Am I stuck using the HD lithium battery charger/tender or is there something else out there? https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...battery-tender

I have toyed with the lithium battery idea for some years now and all of my research says proper tender is required. Don't see that being a deal breaker. As far as brands, I would think connector types would be your only limitation, not HD specific.

Try Shorai batteries and their Li battery chargers. Agree with above post.

If you are talking tenders then any new one is ok for both AGM and lithium. I use Deltran for both. It has a float mode that won't overcharge
I have found lithium holds charge much longer than AGM. I don’t keep it on tender. AGM I do.

Chargers I don’t know
