I heard that the only drawback to lithium batteries is that you can NEVER let them dump.
So, if I let the car sit for about 7 days without a tender, then drive the car for 2-3 days, then let it sit another 7 days, will I be ok?

If an Antigravity, it won’t go all the way to no output. It has built-in circuitry to go into conservation mode when levels reach a pre-determined low point. You revive it with a remote FOB, get in, and there should be enough left to start the car. If you do want to charge it back every week it two, be sure to drive the car and reach normal operating temperature, not just idle it for a few minutes.

You can easily let is sit a few weeks without issues at all. If you don't have alot of extra accessories that are creating a Parastic Drain, then our 40Ah model will sit for about a month without needing any recharge. We also have a 60Ah that can sit even longer. That is not a worry. Also as Need4S said if you did let it sit for two months you could still come back and start the car right up. I don't want to hijack the thread but the video below will explain all about it...

That will be fine with any Lithium Battery if you do not have any aftermarket stuff installed that puts a constant drain on the battery. I go 2 weeks with my Braille 40 with zero issues. I use a lithium tender for insurance beyond that.
Same here, been using the Anti Gravity in my MB for about three years with no issues, whereas before, the Benz seemed to eat batteries on a yearly basis and was quick to go flat.
Do the lithium batteries require a special tender or will my CTEK work just fine.
Some Cteks have a lithium switch, some might have internal logic controls, some of the old ones can not be used on Lithium.....just have to check to be sure of the model.
