Even if the OEM converter works... you still want a new replacement with those batteries.
Why ?
Two reasons:
1. Smart chargers/smart converters are a lot better at charging (faster) AND don't overcharge once batteries fully charged. Said another way, they charge at higher voltage during bulk and absorption and lower voltage during float stage.
2. If speed of charging is an issue (dry camping and running generator to charge batteries) in addition to #1, a higher amp converter may save a lot of fuel.
Note: Some "stupid" converters have an optional controller that turns them into smart converters-- just a plug and play. So the upgrade may be very cost effective.
