It charges with a small plug on the side so an external charger isn't needed. I plug it in once a week before I go to bed whether it needs it or not. No hassle. 65 miles should get me end to end here in TV if I wanted to make the trip.

What I can't understand about the regular electrics running around here that have been UPGRADED to (not factory designed for) lithium is the fact like 200++ lbs of ballast is lost which doesn't seem very safe regarding tip overs relative to the C.O.G. In any case, if you buy a NEW electric factory lithium is the only way to go.
And what will be the replacement costs for lithium? Does anyone know? Just curious..
