I've been using the bt junior for years on many things. Just don't leave it plugged in on lithium batteries, once up to full, unplug and remove. Hook it up in a week or two or three, repeat as needed.

The tender senses when the battery is fully charges and automatically goes into "maintenance mode"

Problem is the lead acid battery tender won't sense it on the lithium ion batteries and will overcharge and kill your very expensive lightweight battery.
You need a battery specific tender.
