Now I know the converter is bad what to replace with

I now no my converter is bad and I am looking at converters on Amazon. I only carry one large deep cell on my truck camper. Is a 55 amp converter charger to big. I think OEM is 45 amp. Also I am looking at this power max clicky

What do you all think.
What size converter would you go with.

I am thinking about trying to fix my old converter but for this price I am thinking replacing is better.

Thanks

    One battery? Go small like 35 amp is fine. Smaller Powermax will do better at charging since it drops to float as soon as it hits 14.6 volts.

    I swapped my failed 55a WFCO for a 35a WFCO and it works fine in my trailer. I went 35a so that I might eventually get a small Honda 1000 and not have any issues.

    With the charge wizard you can manually turn down the charge to 13.2 amps charge and reduce the ac amp draw ( I don't remember how much this is for a PD 9145a which is a 45amp convereter), works well with a small AC and portable gen
    I moved my battery to here and added one


    And put the converter and a inverter and inverter sub panel here under the dinette adjacent to the old gen comp

    Okay thanks folks. I ordered the powermax 45 amp. I went with the 45 amp in case I add another battery. Which I may if my propane fridge dies. Because then I will probably go with a 12 volt fridge.
