Searched the number and that's the distribution panel, not the converter...but it says it's compatible with 55, 65 or 75 amp converters, so worst case, you should have 55amps.
With 5hrs of charging, that pretty much rules out my thought on not giving it enough time. That should definitely get it up into the mid-80% range if things are working properly.
