Can the XTVA safely charge Li-Ion batteries?

Thanks.

NTN8561F


XTS Vehicular Adapter. Closed Face with Limited Keypad Access, Mini-UHF

Allows customers to adapt XTS 3000, XTS 3500 or XTS 5000 portables for mobile operation. Provides in-vehicle rapid and trickle charging for Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), and Lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries. These units offer quick radio release and dead battery operation and are powered by attaching their supply cable to the 12V battery inside a police car, utility truck or other vehicle. Connectors are provided for the vehicle antenna, mobile microphone and optional amplified loudspeaker (HSN1000B). There is also a general interface connector for additional accessories. A color LED indicates battery recharge status. For XTVA operation, a microphone, and RF Switch (NTN8327A) are required. The required external antenna, mobile microphone, and optional loudspeaker allow for operation of the portable radio that is similar to that of a mobile. Adding accessories to the vehicular adapters requires one of the following two kits: NTN8941A XTVA Data Cable Kit NTN8943A XTVA Accessory Adapter Kit

It should be noted that if you are charging an impress battery on your portable while in the XTVA you may loose the battery state of charge indicator on your portable because the XTVA is not an impress charger. However, you can restore the battery to normal after a recharge in a normal impress charger.
