Probably not, since the solar controller should be able to top-off that final 15% SoC. (State of Charge). But if you do upgrade your battery wiring for an 80-amp Charger/Converter, you now should be able to recharge your Lithium battery using any portable generator in an hour or two of running, compared to three or four hours using a 40-amp converter. And the times get longer with 200 or 400 Ah of Lithium batteries.
So if you have lets say a 45 amp converter and you replace it with a 45 amp converter does that mean the charging output of the converter will be the same and the wiring to the batteries will be the same?I guess what I am asking is how does one know the rating of the charging output, or is it the same as the converter capacity?
If you have any solar with a lithium ready solar controller, is it really necessary to upgrade the converter to lithium?

It’s the same as the converter capacity.
