I've been selling these latest CV4 batteries for some time with great results. More power than the OEM battery, and allows you to shave several pounds off the top of the bike. See more @ MNNTHBX - Enter

Looks like a Battery Tender is out of the question. Says on the front of the box "Do NOT charge or attempt to maintain charge with a trickle charger".

My guess is they have a special charger.

You bet! However, I am a fair weather rider. I only ride when its dry and above 35 degrees. This leaves plenty of down time for multiple bikes, especially during the winter. I keep my bikes on battery tenders at all times when parked in the garage. The batteries are always ready and my batteries last for at least 5 years on average.

And like rkw said, roll start it and just go ride.. Should be fine

Unless it's one of said lithium chargers. I put mine on the balance charger once a month to maintain proper charge in each cell

That'd have to be an awfully tiny battery to offer any benefit over the OE unit.
Pound savings?!?
Maybe ounces at best.

The cv4 weighs LESS than 1 pound, so yes it's only saving ounces

Just weighed them both. The CV4 is 2.5 pounds lighter than your OEM Grom battery, and that's coming high off the bike. Do you really think I'd hawk batteries to save a couple ounces? On top of that, the CV4 has 135CCA vs. your OEM 65CCA. Do your battery research. Lithium ferrous is a whole different animal than conventional batteries.

2.5lbs is quite a difference.
