Can I use BatteryProtect reversed to protect a battery from the alternator?

I am installing a Winston 12V LYP 90A battery, which is rated for max 16A and 3C.
The battery does not come with a BMS, and is neither suppsed to be used with one.
(Yes, these batteries are pretty extreme.)

However, I would like to protect it from a possible short circuite in the alternator.
Using a BatteryProtect “reversed” (connecting D+ on “In” and battery + on “Out”), would be an economic solutiuon and should both protect the battery against to high current and voltage, but will it work?
The documentation talks about using it this way between a charger and battery, but not alternator and battery.

Fusing also works for short circuits, its pretty much why they are in most circuits

Hoping at least there is some protection in your battery bank -like balance and over charge and undercharge protection otherwise there is disaster waiting to happen.

If you reverse flow anything but the smallest current through a battery protect the battery protect will fail. Therefore the alternator will charge the battery, but if the alternator shorts the battery protect will fail. This is an expensive fuse.
