From what I could find in the manual for the Parallax 7300, it doesn't appear that the breaker is too low. It appears different breakers are used depending on what wiring is in place. But, if you are wanting to switch to lithium batteries you will need to change your converter section to something that is lithium compatible.

The # PD9160ALV was not designed to fit in the converter section, but we have had people do it in the past. You would just want to make sure you have enough space to fit it. The system measures 9-3/16" long x 7-3/8" wide x 3-5/8" tall.
If it does not seem like it will fit, often times the cabinets where these are installed are large enough to fit this behind the power center and run the wires through the back. But, the # PD9160ALV only works with lithium; so you would need to make the battery switch at the same time.
