2017 GTS has Lithium Ion or LiFeP04 Battery?

Is there any difference, or are these one in the same? I'm needing a battery charger, but I can't figure out if I need a lithium ion battery charger or a LiFePO4 charger. It seems like most of these advanced chargers handle both. Thanks for any input.

My 2017 GT S didn't come with a charger so I bought this Noco Genius 10 which can be used for both AGM and the Lithium-ion battery. You just need to change it to the Lithium-ion setting.
Here are a few threads covering the battery & charging: Thread 1, thread 2, thread 3, thread 4.
And if for some reason you don't have an outlet nearby, a portable battery like this (or another similar ) can paired with the Noco or CTEK charger — I needed this setup for maintaining the battery in my underground parking spot.
Hope these are useful!
