Maidstone produced one of the shocks of the first round when they won 4-2 at League 2 Cheltenham on Saturday.
Stones are in the second round for the second time in just four seasons, losing 3-1 at Wrexham at this stage in the 2014/15 season.
Charlton have been drawn away to League 1 rivals AFC Wimbledon.
