Isolated Orion - output becomes input?

Using a 12/12-18 isolated with Bluetooth to charge my FLA start battery with a LFP house battery. I have it on a switch and turn it on when needed.

My question is what if I forget the Orion is charging my start battery and start the van? My alternator puts out around 14.5V. Will this be an issue for the Orion?

If the Orion sees the 14.5 volts wouldn't it just stop charging? In a normal Orion implementation there are several charging sources for your house battery and the Orion doesn not have a problem with this.
