How to Charge a Battery to 33v from Alternator

I am currently using a Victron MPPT and 12/24 100/50 Buck Boost Converter in my 8S4P Nissan Leaf van house battery system and would love to know if I can safely increase the charging voltage of the buck boost converter from 30 to 33v.

My operational voltage is 28-33v.

@ThirdEyeSamuel

the buck boost can only go up to 30V max

The Solar chargers can be set to the 33v you are looking for.

Thanks for the response Alexandra.

I do indeed use the scc to get me to the higher voltage, was just hoping there might be a trick to raising the converters output.
