I replaced my older Elixir 30AMP unit with WFCO WF8900 series Power Distribution Panel box but used a PD9200 series converter/charger in it.
This made me have to re-wire all of the 12VDC circuits to separate fuses as well as up to 9 each 120VAC Circuit breakers IEA full size 30AMP breaker and 8each 1/2 size individual circuit breakers... Was not a hard re-wire thing as all of the wiring is already routed to this location. Took me about 2 hours to replace the old ELIXIR unit.

Brought me into the modern power distribution world...
The old ELIXIR only had two slots for a 30AMP main breaker and four 12VDC fuse positions with one of them the REVERSE POLARITY fuse.
Ended up with a much better setup with a regular power distribution panel. The PD9200 series converter/charger would fit in the bottom compartment of the WF8900 series power distribution panel box. Now i can have 9 120VAC circuit breaker positions and 11 12VDC Fuse positions including two REVERSE POLARITY fuse positions.
That is what I did at any rate...
If you just even want to add one more battery you will need a 45AMP system to be save and allow charging your two batteries in a quick three hour smart mode charge time. Will take longer to recharge batteries if all you have available is a 30AMP DC source.
