Charge dead truck battery (LA) from house battery (LiFePO4)

Recently I was in a very remote area when my "check guages" light came on indicating the alternator wasn't charging. It eventually came back on (could be a bad ground?). I had a similar situation last...

Thanks for the input folks. I was just trying to sort out the practicality of charging from one type of battery to the other. I suspect the BMS won't allow it and if it did, the rate of charge would be more than a depleted LA battery could handle. I already keep tools plus a spare belt and water pump among other things. Why not throw in an alternator, I suppose?
