DC Charging
Question- DC charging? I'm upgrading my converter from 45 Amps to 60 Amps- DC- Do I need to change any of the wiring going to the Battery IE. larger wire? Or just to the panel? Will it work with the o...

The original converter an Atwood Fortron integrated into the panel is not working and was bit anemic in charging the battery when on shore power when everything was running- I opted for a 4 stage Power Max -My thoughts were that I could eventually add a battery - add additional DC circuits for equipment and better battery management with a 4 stage converter. The old converter I had is no longer made so swapping it for a more modern converter for nearly the same cost made perfect sense to me. I was thinking I could do the swap now to get me running again and add a battery and upgrade the wire later. I know AC power pretty well but not sure of DC and charging systems. Does the charger push or the battery pull Amperage I guess is the simple question? As most circuits draw what they need and are fused/or have a breaker. I would think a second battery would require larger wires to charge efficiently but could I get by now as is?
