that can use the same chargeing systems in regular 12v vehicles.

Replace your lead acid powersport battery with the newest technology from the name you trust: Battery Tender. Deltran Battery Tender's line of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) engine start batteries feature a maximum charge rate of up to 10 amps and are designed to replace flooded, AGM, and gel cell lead acid batteries in power sport applications such as motorcycles, ATVs, personal water craft, lawn mowers, utility vehicles, scooters, and dirt bikes. Battery Tender Lithium batteries are up to 80% lighter than equivalent lead-acid batteries. And since Lithium batteries cannot sulphate, you can enjoy safer operation and better long-term storage.

Versatile Top or Front Cable Installation

The Battery Tender Lithium battery allows the cable eyelets to be either connected from the top or front side of the terminals. Choose the side that matches your configuration the best. The battery comes with the hardware needed to attach the terminal rings to your battery. This Quad Terminal design allows for maximum mounting flexibility, as all terminals are live.
Better Long-Term Storage

Compared to lead-acid batteries, the Battery Tender Lithium battery has less than 5% the average self-discharge rate and can be stored for much longer periods without maintenance. If there is no current draw from your vehicle when your ignition is off, the Battery Tender Lithium battery can be stored for up to one year without damage. For long term storage the ideal temperature is 1ºC (34ºF). The battery should be stored in a minimum charge state of 70%. Battery Tender Lithium batteries should not be used in temperatures below -10ºC (14ºF).
Recharge with Battery Tender Chargers

All Deltran Battery Tender Lithium batteries can be recharged using Battery Tender's line of battery chargers (sold separately). Battery Tender chargers are the convenient solution to the challenge of keeping 12-volt vehicle batteries optimally powered when not in use. The line of chargers can also charge standard and sealed AGM and gel cell batteries, so it's an ideal tool to keep all your 12V batteries running.
3-Year Limited Warranty

Deltran provides a limited 3-year warranty on its Battery Tender Lithium batteries to the original purchaser based on defective material or workmanship. Warranty is void in cases of product misuse, disassembly or modification. Other details regarding warranty limitations and procedures are contained in the Deltran Battery Tender Charger's general limited warranty information sheet enclosed with this product.
