Victron 160A Argo Diode Two Battery Isolator using charger instead of alternator

The application is on my sailboat using LiFeP04 batteries.

1. Can I use a Victron 160A Argo Diode Two Battery Isolator with a 160A charger instead of an alternator?

2. I have two battery banks that I want to isolate. One has two 300A batteries and one has one 300A battery.

3. Would the proper wiring be the cable from the charger goes to the input stud of the Isolator and then two cables on one output stud goes to each of the batteries in the bank with two batteries and then another cable going from the other output stud to the bank with one battery?

3. Each bank goes to a Bat1/Bat2/Both/Off switch and then to the load.

Thanks!

Please note that I already own the Victron 160 two batter isolator. I know that the FET unit works with alternator or battery charger and hoping mine will as well!!!
