How to charge LiFePO4 and Lead Acid from both shore power connection and alternator comes up frequently. I'm finding myself in the same boat.
Initially I had decided to get a DC-DC charger (Renogy) and stick with my shore power battery charger (which does not support lithium) for the time being. The more I thought about it, the less I liked the legacy shore power charger (because of the lack of lithium support, and because it only outputs 40 amps).
This morning I came across MasterVolt's ChargeMaster Plus series. They include the ability to charge lithium and trickle charge a small starter battery (very helpful). A really interesting feature is the ability to take input from an alternator to charge each of the banks. This appears to eliminate the need for a battery isolator or separate DC-DC charger.
Curious if anyone has experience with this product.
