Gangadhar,
In regards to charging Li-Ion, the same basic principles are used for the charging, however the software will have to be modified to do this. The primary change will be the removal of the "trickle charge" so that the cells are not overcharged.
You can find some more information on the differences at this website: https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

If you are looking for a solution that avoids the need for more complex software, you may also look at our portfolio of Li-Ion battery charging ICs to see if any of them will work well in conjunction with the MPPT stage and your specific battery: http://www.ti.com/power-management/battery-management/charger-ics/overview.html
