Direct replacement for PD9140 converter?

[53chevy]

I searched for this with no luck. Is there a 3 or 4 stage direct replacement (footprint) for the PD9100 series converter?

Also, the Progressive Dynamics web site said to not exceed the original converter amperage due to wiring, etc. If I increased it then I assume I would need to install larger gauge cables between the batteries and converter? Thanks.

Look on page 23 for wire size. Xantrex manual

Another related question:

I'm replacing my 12V batteries with 2 GC2 6V 230ah batteries in a vented tongue box and plan to install a ~2000W or so pure sine inverter. Since I shouldn't put the inverter in the same battery box, the nearest area I can install it is about 6-7 feet away inside the trailer. Is there a way to calculate what size cables I need for that distance or is that just too far to be efficient?

Excellent, thank you for the suggestions!

Verify wire size to batteries. If large enough you could upgrade to PD9260. That would require wire no smaller then #6, but #4 would be better.

This is very true,the better upgrade is their newest PD9245C-14.8 for a higher boost/bulk voltage such as Trojan and others.
