sketter - If I go with something larger than the 55A converter/charger,do I need to up the circuit breaker for it and can I just replace it with a larger one in the same slot or does that mean wire size changes as well?
If you have an open slot you could just install a dedicated circuit for the larger converter. If the circuit breaker controls a string of outlets you have to pull all new wire to add a 20a breaker.
Read the literature before you click and buy.
