I thought that this is more of a property for specifying if connected 
battery/supercap has charging capabilities. I guess at the end it would 
be the same thing as knowingly disabling the trickle charger even if 
battery/supercap can be charged.
Do you want that I change and use "aux-voltage-chargeable"?
