Ideally you want each charging source (alternator, converter, charge controller) to have separate cables. If you connect charge controller to converter then both the converter and charge controller will be fooled as to the correct battery voltage. The converter may not go into boost or the charge controller may go unnecessarily into absorption or float mode. It depends on the magnitude of the cable line drop.

My current charge controller is in the same compartment as the converter, and therefore connected to the battery cables at the same location (Essentially the output of both devices are wired together). I plan on installing the new one in the same location. Does anybody see a problem with this?
