If an Orion converter has it’s output at say 13.2V which is parallel with a battery, does it get damaged when an alternator starts outputting 14.4V to that?

Orion backfeed
@DeVerm
Can you confirm you have a orion converter not the orion smart charger?
I have both, but the question is for power supply mode of the smart, or the fixed output of the regulator Orion’s. If there is a difference, how to tell? My initial thoughts are that models that support parallel installation should support a higher voltage back feeding them?
I'm not seeing the question answered.
Provided the voltage is within reason (appropriate for charging a 12V system), there should be no backfeed.
