I doubt you would ever pull the 45 amps, but the circuit should be protected to it's rating by a fuse or auto resetting breaker.
I have a 45 amp PD converter. The wire from the battery to the converter is #6 AWG. It is protected by a 40 amp ckt. breaker.
Like enblethen said, 2 easy choices. Leave the circuit protected at 25 or 30 amps or add a parallel run of wire between the converter and battery. Either would be a safe bet.
I would probably add a second run of probably 12 AWG wire and up the circuit breaker to to 40 amps. It wouldn't cost much and would give you extra capacity. If you want to over do it, go with 10 AWG.
