Charge batteries from generator, but disregard loads

I have a multiplus 5000 and 2 LiFePo4 batteries. I am currently charging them with solar power.

I am thinking of bying 2 more batteries. Is it possible to connect a generator to the multiplus to charge the batteries, and only charge the batteries. I don’t want the generator to supply the loads, only charge.

The Multiplus can only Charge or Invert it cant do both at the same time

So if you connect the generator to the Mutiplus it will charge the battery and the generator will also have to supply the loads.

The multi can power support so that if at times the loads exceed the generators capacity then the inverter can add to the generators capacity and then switch back to charging if the loads reduce
