Back to the converter question please ...
Do I "need" a 75A converter even if I end up adding a 2nd battery or is a smaller (lower) power one OK?
45 amps, in your case, with one battery, or two, is plenty. I can get by with a 30 amp unit, if it stays in bulk mode, 14.4V, no problem. As a matter of fact the slightly smaller pd 9245 45amp unit, with a short run of fat wire to the battery or batteries, will get you to a higher state of recharge before it kicks out of bulk mode and drops the charge voltage to put it in absorption mode, than the more powerful PD 9280, which really needs a much larger battery bank with more amp hours, to work well, around 300- 400 Ah of battery pack.
