Centaur add in to a Multiplus for Lithium charging

I'd like to know if the charge profiles of the Centaur and Multiplus are compatible for Victron Smart Lithium. Customer have a huge 11 kw generator and currently his multiplus 2000-80 can barely charge the battery in place (AGM). Going lithium, we would like to augment the 110 volt charging capacity by adding one or two Centaur charger.

Can both charger (Multiplus and Centaur) be active at the same time and won't disturb one another ? Since they don't "talk" to each other, is there a risk that one stop the other from charging ?

The charge algorithm and temperature compensation does not match lithium battery charging parameters.

Centaur datasheet.
