It will not charge now. It would be GREATLY convenient if it could. In simplest case, allow charging from DC input if input voltage is <=12.6V and charge current is < 2A. Not sure what is the reason not to allow it. Perhaps concerns about counterfeit batteries without a chip, and possibility of fire.
