Can I use a Lithium variant battery on this bike?

I can fit a 1" x 3.5" x 7" pack under the seat, but I'm worried that the alternator won't be able to charge the battery properly... I'm hoping for 2x6V 1" x 3.5" x 3.5", so I can wire them in parallel for now, then in series to make 12V once I've gotten the upgrade parts.

Any idea anyone?

Also - I've found joy in my title search, and it's not going to cost me an arm and a leg!
