Lead Acid bank Charging a Lithium bank - via DC-DC

I currently have a lead acid system on my boat. I want to add electronics and a Lithium DC system, separate from the original, (keeping the original DC system intact). Can I charge the Lithium via a DC- DC charger from the Lead Acid? The Lead acid is charged via the alternator, shore power and solar panels.

Moved to questions and answers.

Yes, you can charge a lithium battery from a lead acid battery with the Orion DC to DC chargers. This is a common way of charging lithium from alternators that do not have lithium settings.
