To replace your WF-9865LIS converter I recommend the Progressive Dynamics 9300 Series RV Converter Charger # PD79RR. This converter is compatible with lead acid, AGM, and LiFePO4 batteries and has a 60 amp converter rating. It installs the same way so this will be an easy swap out of your current converter. I've attached the instructions below for mode selection so you can match the your battery type.
