R3 battery type and battery tender

[Gregger]

Agree about both working although one is less tedious. Simply leaving a proper battery tender plugged in 24/7 does it all for you. The tender kicks in and charges your battery when it falls to a certain level then shuts off when the charged level is met until the battery charge drops to recharge level. Might be once a day or once a week. It does this mindlessly and doesn't forget like most of us.....

Hey guys,
My new R3R will be arriving this week and of course given the crappy weather in NJ, it will be sitting in the garage for a while.
Do the new R3 have a standard lead acid or a Lithium battery. Want to order a battery tender and wondering whether just to get the Battery Tender Jr (standard), or the one for Lithium batteries.
Thanks

I had a Lithium in Montana. Didn't last a year. Just didn't have the cold crank needed

Its an AGM battery, charge setting use gel cell mode like "Optima batts"
