Between putting in engines thats pretty much what I did lol
My DC-DC charger is bluetooth and I can change the voltage at which it shuts off and turns back on deending on the voltage it receives from the start battery.
I have found it draws a ton of power and lowers the voltage in teh start battery FAST.
, I set the turn off voltage at 12 and back on at 13v . That way it pretty much doest charge unless I`m plugged into shore power or the engine is running .
I put the charger on a switch so that it can just be turned off , lets say after draining the lithium battery I don`t want the alternator to over heat as mentioned.

That looks very much like the one I’ve got. Mine is fairly loud. LMK what yours sound like when you get them up and running. I’m pretty well set on replacing it this winter, but I might try and rubber mounting it first.
Thanks. Brad.
