You are replacing a 30 amp converter (single 13.6v unless you had the IQ4) with a three stage 100 amp converter but only getting two 6s. Two 6s can accept about 75 amps to advantage, 100 is too much, but would be ok with a bigger battery bank.
The 100 amper is borderline for needing a 20a 120v circuit but will work on a 15 but maxes it.
You don't have to use the same 120v circuit as the old converter at the new location. Any circuit will do--but as above, with nothing else on it running at the same time as that 100 amper going full out at 14.6v. With just two 6s it wont be doing 100amps at 14.6 excpt at first, then it will taper amps quickly and drop to 13.6 too. But you could pop a breaker right at first if something else is on.
