Victron smart charger

Anybody know any technical reason why one shouldn’t connect a Victron smart charger to a lithium battery simultaneously with the WFCO and the Victron solar charger?  Trying to get around the WFCO non recognition of lithium batteries.

This thread has a couple of comments about it.  You could probably wire any of the lithium compatible smart chargers this way.  See AldebaranJill's comment in this thread. https://tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/16168/external-smart-charger/p1

I have a Victron smart charger and put a switch at my lithium batteries to turn them off when on shore power. I let the WFCO supply 12 volts to the T@B and I can switch the Victron charger on if the lithiums need charging and switch back to batteries when I disconnect from shore power. Works just fine.

I have this nearly exact setup and it works fine.  My WFCO older and does not have an Li option.
