Victron engine shutdown detection with lithium starter battery

Does Victron DC DC charger engine shutdown detection work for you if you have a lithium starter, let’s say either a Winston or Dakota starter battery?
What shutdown detection settings did you end up with?
What problems if any did you have to overcome?

Given how flat the charge curve is for lithium, you’re probably better off tapping the keyswitch for the on signal. That’s how we turn our wakespeed regulator on and off.

@Fuss:
Victron has several DC-DC chargers. Here is how a Smart version of a Orion DC-DC senses operation and acts accordingly: https://tinyurl.com/mwztv3tm
