Smart alternator charging and LiFEPO4 batteries

Given that my vehcile is equipped with a smart alternator under the hood, that, as the name implies, won't delivery one constant higher voltage like was the case in the days of a non-smart constant alternator's voltage output, but regulate that voltage, presumably saving gasoline, based on the needs of the starter battery,

how can I expect it to be able to, via a Renogy DCC30S, charge a LiFEPO4 house battery which typically depends on a higher voltage to effect such charge?

Does the Renogy device convert some of those alternator charging amps to volts need be?

TIA

I'm sorry. I think I found my answer in this product's voltage boosting capabilities: a what seems to be relatively common feature in RV house battery charging from alternator components, given today's potentially lower voltage smart alternators and higher voltage LiFEPO4 house battery requirements for charging. :)
