Looks like you absolutely do not want to use that Odyssey charger on a lithium.

My only dislike of lithium batteries is centered around their cold weather performance.

Remember I have built 3 different lithium batteries for 2 vehicles and been using lithium vehicle batteries since 2011.
I don't know that I want to put all that extra money down for another charger, I guess. Thanks. I got five or six years and a few thousand cycles out of the battery. I treated it well. Never depleted it heavily. Charged it generally for 12 or 14 solid hours over night. I have a desulfinating three stage charger. Odyssey is good hardware. Maybe I'll just buy another one of their batteries.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
