Battery Tender?

We've used a battery tender/trickle charger in the past, on a number of previous autos, including Audi and BMW. They're very handy for topping off the battery, even in a garaged car, and for running the electronics - for a map update for example - without discharging the battery. The G05 I understand has some sort of Li-Ion battery as well as the main battery, and my question is if anyone has had experience using a trickle charger on the new X5 - does the lithium battery need recharging? Does a normal trickle charger affect operations? Will it damage the battery? Appreciate any insight....
