Choosing a replacement power converter
Even with a new battery my LED lights dim and brighten. My charger fan can also be loud, so I think a charger replacement and upgrade might be a good idea. I see they come in several wattages from 30...

I'm thinking the Intellipower converters with the Charge Wizard.
You are thinking wisely grasshopper.
Though there are many that would rank either as good as the Charge Wizard controlled units from progressive Dynamics and even more so close as to not matter.. NONE would I rank better.
NOTE if your converter is part of your power distribution panel. You need not replace the panel.. You can just add like a 9200 to the system. (Optionally gut the existing converter to save weight or keep it around (Just disconnect the 120 volt lead to it) "Just in case".
Next question ... how big a converter (30-40-50-60-70 amp)
This depends on your batteries.. Take the amp hour ratings of your 12 volt battery(s0 (If you have six volt pairs treat each pair as a single 12 volt battery, for everything) and add 'em up
Two group 27, for example is roughly 190-100 amp hours.
Multiply by zero point three (0.3) or 30%
200 times 30% = 60
That is your converter size.
