Anyone Using A Deltran/Battery Tender LI Battery?

Interested in this one: https://www.batterytender.com/Battery-Tender-5.0AH-300CA-Lithium-Engine-Start-Battery-w-Smart-BMS

The built in protection circuit looks desirable to prevent over-charging.

Thanks

Bought one for our 2015 Honda Grom when the stock one went bad.  Purchased on March 31, 2018; haven't had a problem.  This was before the built in charging circuit.  Not sure if we've ever had it on a charger, but if we have it would have been the Battery Tender lead/lithium charger that came with it.

Shorai batteries can be maintained with a RC charger that can do Li-Fe and can use a balancing lead.  I use that arrangement for the Shorai batteries I have as I somehow ended up with extras and need to maintain them.

The charger I use is a 'Hobby King C3', the lead I purchased for balancing is 'Associated Reedy 4s Balance Lead ASC27230'.

If you go with the new Battery Tender line let me know how it works out.

I have one of these chargers: https://www.batterytender.com/Battery-Tender-12V-800mA-Selectable-Lead-Acid-Lithium-Battery-Charger_7


I bought one of the early Anti-Gravity batteries several years ago. It failed early without much usage. The replacement has proven to be more durable. They are expensive though.

LI batteries don't tolerate over-charging well. I think the problems begin around 14.7 volts.
