I have several Noco Genius maintainers that have a lithium battery charge mode. I haven't used the lithium setting, but the AGM charge mode works fine for my vehicles. Ctek makes maintainers also with lithium charge modes, and some that are dedicated lithium chargers. Either brand has good reviews on the forum.

Lots of the Battery Tender models have a Lithium mode. I have the 5A model and have been very pleased. https://www.batterytender.com/collec...ttery-chargers

Just to wrap things up, for anyone still looking for a charger/maintainer for our lithium battery, personally, rather than the original one offered by Mercedes (a Mercedes rebranded C-Tek compatible with both lead-acid and lithium batteries), I would go for the C-Tek Lithium US, specifically designed for this type of battery
