Hi Gunr
Thank you for the information.
Whilst it is possible to use a non-Lithium charger - the 'caveat' in the video is that -
The presenter states that the charger would need to have a power supply 'mode' and the charger - would then would need to be switched to this power supply 'mode' - to provide the right charge.
I was simply try to advise the use of an appropriate charger...
Gizzo,
Thank you for your further updates.
Please note - I am not insisting all ---- everyone is free to make their own choice.
In answer to you question - yes there was a short section that I cut and pasted as I thought it relevant and useful - its from a very informative article from Motorcycle.com - please see - full article here -

Further information -
Some also say - don't use a PB acid charger, some say make sure you don't use a charger with the de-sulpherisation cycle, others say some they charge at too high an amperage, etc...
Modern good quality Motorcycle Lithium batteries have BMS systems built in - which should protect the Li battery.
From my experience - with over 45 years of riding bikes/repairing/rebuilding my own/servicing etc...... which included 6 years at a lead smelter/refiner - which also included dealing the recycling many different types of batteries and seeing various issues that had occurred - for whatever charging/aging reason.
I am only sharing my experience -
I top up my batteries once a month over the winter - so no problems with the Li batteries or my Pb batteries - its simply a precaution for my own peace of mind.
I had replaced an old Optimate charger which wasn't suitable for the Li battery - when I checked with supplier (and no I didn't buy another from them) - I went with the Motorpower one - which can do both types of battery - as its an 'automatic' charger.
I perhaps should have been clearer in the detail previously supplied - when I said I only use a Lithium charger - so for the sake of clarity and to be more specific -
Its a Motorpower Automatic Charger - which will charger PB acid or Li batteries.
I was simply try to advise the use of an appropriate charger...
Hope this helps!
