I have no idea if the Ecoflow's BMS can handle load dumps. No idea either about the contact relief relay, I'm a complete car electronics noob! The car will shutoff the 12V ports if the car's battery runs too low, to keep enough energy available to start the car. | |

So to really know, ask Ecoflow. | |

Its code at Volkswagen should be J59. Everything that's connected to this rail will be disabled while starting the engine. You could hook up your battery to this contact, perhaps with an additional relay. | |

You might want to consider a low-voltage cutoff switch to keep the Ecoflow from continuing to charge from the battery if the main battery voltage drops too low. | |
