The second argument for the B-B charger is that the engine alternator will not fully charge the lithium battery.
Vehicle alternators are designed to charge the lead acid starting battery, not LiFePO4 ! They don't even do a good job of recharging a lead acid "house battery bank". The output voltage from your alternator and voltage regulator are not designed for LiFePO4.

CONCUR !
Just make sure to purchase a DC-DC charger that has a programmable output for both lead acid and LiFePO4.
