Updated 01/04/2026 | Published 01/03/2026
Question:
I have a solar setup in a shed with lithium batteries. Would the optimate smart battery charger work to use the lithium batteries to charge and maintain a lead acid battery in a tractor?

Hey Kerry, yes the Optimate DC to DC charger part # MA99JR that you referenced would allow a lithium battery to charge a non-lithium battery. So your solar panel charges the lithium batteries and then from there you'd want the lithium batteries to top off the tractor battery?
