Sorry for the ignorant question:

What do you need to do differently with a LIon battery to maintain it? Do you use the same charger? Same float/trickle charger? Is it ok to leave the float charger on all winter?

There are Lithium-specific chargers/tenders that you should use. If the battery has its own BMS circuit then a standard charger/maintainer should suffice.

My Walmart battery is going strong. Battery has been disconnected for over a month. Car sits all the time. Not a bad replacement
