    Swapping out the 12 Battery with a Battery Tender Lithium

    Hello all! I am looking to swap out the 12 Battery with a Battery Tender Lithium. The only issue I see is that the Battery Tender Lithium can only take a charge of 10A. Has anyone done this type of swap? Tried to do a search, but came up with too many false hits. Thanks!!
