Lithiom Ion battieries have different charging requirements than lead acid batteries.

First most require a special charger and a regular battery charger will ruin them, also you stator output may not be entirely compatible. You may have to add additional electronics to the charging system. I would check with a qualified dealer to see what they recommend. Almost all dealers warn that a regular charger will drastically shorten the life of a Lithiom Ion battery.
