XS Power Titan8 PWR-S5 Ran Parrellel With Stock AGM (Valuecraft 75-VL BCI: 75)

Hello all, was wondering if it would be ok to run those two batteries together with no isolator. Lythium would be brand new the stock has some years on it but is completely fine. GP car audio customer service says it would be fine and recommended it, but just seems a bit extreme. The stock battery Infront has a 4 gauge big 3 (yes I know 0 would be better) and the supply for the lithium in the back would come from a positive 0 gauge from the alternator and then a 0 gauge ground. The alternator is aftermarket with 110 amp idle and 220 when revved. Front battery delete is probably the best but its not an option for me, the car is old and if something goes wrong I don't want it to be too far from stock if I have to sell it. Thanks!

If a recall D4S shop says it is ok to run those Titan 8's with an AGM. They also informed me I could run their lithium cap bank with the AGM I have up front. Charge the Titan correctly before installing.

How do you charge it before installing?

A charger capable of charging lithium batteries.

Those have 5x 10ah scib cells. Max charge voltage is 14.4. I would not recommend them.

All you need for a charger is a variable power supply from Amazon.
