HY110 lithium battery correct charger

Please can anyone help me regarding a 2021 AT and charging the HY110 battery? I understand it's a Lithium Ion battery and yet the recommended charger is an Optimate lithium charger but the manual for the Optimate states LiFePO4 only and states not for other lithium ion batteries. So I bought a Noco genius 2 but that states in the manual not for lithium batteries without a battery management system. It also isn't lithium specific and so I am worried about using it. UK dealers seem a little confused. Does the battery have a BMS? Should I use the Noco or a lithium specific even if it's for the lithium iron phosphate (and not advised to charge a Li Ion in the manual) I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

You can,t use the OptiMate 1 to recover your battery if is turned by its internal BMS or BMU System. Better to have the Noco Geninus 5 or a OPtimate which support BMS/BMU

I am going to buy the Noco Genius 5. Hope it will be good for the ATAS lithium battery and for the acid batterys of my cars...

I have both Optimate 4S 5A for HY110 + other lithium batteries and Noco Genius 5 for AGM + lithium charging and in testing both, they have remarkably similar lithium charging profiles. Noco Genius 5 will usually charge lithium a few tenths of a volt higher than Optimate 4S 5A but nothing dramatic and probably no real impact on longevity either way. I'm still running the original HY110 in my 2018 ATAS going on five years. While the Optimate 4S 5A has a BMS reset feature, I don't recall seeing any BMS reset feature in lithium mode on the Noco Genius 5. The Genius 5 has been great in maintenance and repair mode on AGM motorcycle + some larger automotive AGM batteries helping extend lifespan.
