Lead Acid Battery Charger on Lithium GTS Battery?

mikerunt · 05-07-2023, 09:49 AM

Anyone have any experience using a lead acid charger on the lithium GTS batteries? I am doing some programming stuff and need to have the car hooked to a charger. I have the 15amp battery charger for lead acid style or I have smaller 3amp battery chargers for lithium.

Which should I use?

And to confirm - without a battery charger I could just hook my wife’s X1 up to the GTS while it’s being programmed correct?

To programming you must connect a battery stabilizer, not a charger.
