Mixing lead acid and lithium

Interesting and extreme coincidence - I have just taken the leap, 3 days ago, to connect my new 180Ah (2x 90Ah) new LiFePO4 batteries in parallel with my existing OpZS 600Ah battery. I antecipated, and can confirm what you say: The Lithium charges and discharges first.

Lithium in parallel with Lead Acid

Some are known to intentionally parallel a lead acid battery to a lithium starting battery as insurance in case the BMS were to disconnect the lithium from the motor''s alternator. This is not a problem as that is a benefit to both batteries, float charge for the AGM and pulls the lithium down just little from a 100% charge which is desirable.
