RE: More precisely......................

Chopper...nobody here seems to have addressed the real question here--why do you think you need a trickle charger on the lithium cells in the first place? Lithiums have about the lowest self-discharge of any of the cell chemistries out there. A charged lithium battery can sit on the shelf for a long time before you get significant voltage drop.

Leave a well designed Li charger hooked up to the battery. It will come on when the battery needs charging, and be invisible to the circuit when not charging. It's all you need. I've designed many kinds of commercial portable equipment this way, and it's pretty foolproof...
