I can see that the cyrix can charge lithium but does it need to run through a charge controller or can I hook the cyrix up directly to the leisure battery supplemented with my existing mppt charge controller ..

I brought the buck-boost dc-dc charger, as my Toyota temperature compensating alternator give's a max charge of 13.8v, where the Victron seems to prefer 14.2 for a full charge.
