If you're planning on keep the power center you currently have and only replacing the converter then you would need the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger - Lithium # PD9160ALV. This converter is designed for lithium batteries and is rated for 60 amps, whereas your current converter is slightly less at 55 amps. This typically isn't a big deal but it's always best to ensure that the wiring you currently have in place is the right gauge to safely transfer the load.

If you're wanting to replace the entire power center/converter then I recommend the Progressive Dynamics Mighty Mini AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 60 Amp # PD4060K. This power center also has a 60 amp converter in it but comes with a switch to change the charging profile from lead acid to lithium. This power center has 6 branch circuits for your AC distribution and 12 fuse ports for your DC distribution.

If you have any other questions please let me know and I'd be happy to help.
