I have a boat with 3 battery banks which are charged using a Centaur 12/50. I want to replace the one bank with a LiFePO4. The bank that I am replacing is also charged using a battery isolator and solar using a SmartSolar MPPT 100/20.
Can I simply put an Orion-TR Smart DC-DC between the Centaur/Alternator and the LiFePO4. The solar would stay on the output side of the Orion since it is aware of LiFePO4.
Would this work, would the Centaur still charge the LiFePO through the Orion? Any issues to consider?
I am trying to avoid changing the Centaur and changing the Centaur will not solve the alternator issue and would still require the Orion.
