Is it acceptable to charge a secondary FLA battery from an inverter running off a primary LiFePO4 bank as per the attached drawing. Thanks - Tim LiFePO4 Start Battery Charging.pdf

Charging a secondary battery from inverter
You could do it like that.
Another way would be to use a DC-DC charger like one of these:

There are 12V to 12V, 12V to 24V, 24V to 12V or 24V to 24V versions.
Thanks wkirby
The advantage of going through the Multiplus is that when I am connected to shore power the secondary battery will be charged using shore power but when disconnected I can charge through the inverter if needed.

I looked at the Orion Charger but it seems to be designed to charge the house battery from the alternator supplied start battery. I would need to charge in the opposite direction ( from house to start). Is there any documentation that covers this scenario?
Thanks
Tim
