Alternator draw on Cyrix Li-CT?

Looking at the Cyrix Li-CT to add a LiFePo4 house battery in parallel with my FLA starter battery on my boat. Boat outboard motor has a 60 Amp alternator, will the LFP battery cause the 60 amp alternator to overheat? LFP battery is a 12V 50ah. Thanks.

Better to use an Orion DC:DC charger and nit connect the batteries in parallel. This will limit the load on the alternator.
