Settings for Orion Smart Charger-Simulation/testing

Hello, what are the settings to simulate charging from starter battery (and alternator) to LiFePo4 batteries. I tried connecting a power supply (car battery charger up to 40 Amps), but the Orion-Tr Smart 12 | 12 - 30 wouldn't charge the lithium battery. The lithium (Battleborn 12 V 100 Amp) was about 94% full at the time.

How high of voltage on the input side is needed to start charging? Amps?

Does this sense vibration like the buck/boost DC-DC convertor does? The factory jumper is still in place between L and H on the remote connector.

Thank you, Jeff

@jerothle They do have input voltage lockout and engine shutdown detection. These can be set using the Victron Connect app as well as your battery type.
