I have a bit of a first world problem🙈

My bike batteries are not lasting, tired of having to buy new batteries all the time, or wanting to take the one bike out and then it’s dead, or a bike I’ve been working on that’s now dead, then needing to use my single charger and not knowing if it will work with whatever type battery that is. Then it doesn’t work and I have to swop batteries🤦‍♂️ Just a mess at the moment.

SO: What is the best MULTIPLE bike battery charger that can charge different types of 12V batteries (Lead/Lithium/Gel etc)? I want to be able to maintain all my bike batteries simultaneously and just plug in and forget. When I want to go ride I plug out of the quick connect leads and GO. I have different types of batteries in my bikes, making it a bit of a problem, and one bike might get a Lithium or LA battery next time etc…

OPTIONS

OPTIMATE/CTEK

I see the Optimate 3x4 looks good, but doesn’t do Lithium? And Ctek I don’t see ones that do multiples at once?

I need at least 4 simultaneous charges.

Will a lead acid charger work with Lithium (No?) - Will Lithium work with lead acid battery (No?) - Will a Lithium charger work with LiPo4 (Think Yes)

Those that know, please advise :)
