Can I just connect a 12V LiFePO4 battery to the DC input of a solar generator? Do I need a DC to DC converter or anything else?
 
Yes. You CAN do this. The results will be uneventful, undesirable, catastrophic or delightful. #3 is the most likely.

If you provide data for the unit in question including a link to its specifications/manual (assuming you have read them yourself and just don't understand), we would be happy to attempt to give a meaningful answer. :)

The LiFePO4 battery is a Lion Energy UT1300. The solar generators are the Ecoflow Delta, R600 and Bluetti AC200.
 
Generally, the external battery will need to be within the voltage range of the charging input. The device being charged will need to have its own current limit or you will need to provide current limit.
