As can be seen after looking at enough of the LFP batteries specs (dropin) they are top balanced. Which is why they have 14.2-14.8 spread in the knee so their BMS can balance the cells in the pack, while also resetting the SOC capacity.
It's best if you have a programmable charger but it seems that the converters are like the dropin batteries and you get to pick your poison for charging, a one size fits all.
The BMS in the battery shouldn't be used as your first line of protection, that's why having programmable parameters in your charging source so it can protect first so if they fail the battery BMS can do it's job as the final line of protection and shutdown.
Really good discussion about all this here. Main idea being "drop in" also means drop in a matching charger. Lots of trouble with alternator charging the full Li (applies to boats and RVs) Of course in an RV you have the OEM converter as well as alternator and solar to deal with for matching Li specs.
