Relocating Converter

Hello All,
As the title mentions, I am looking to relocate my power converter which is now located under the refrigerator. Anyone have suggestions on moving it to an easier to access location?

Keep it close to the batteries and/or adjust the size of the wires to avoid excessive voltage drop and potentially hot wires. Also consider how you'll get the 120 volt wires to the new location where ever that maybe.

Why do you need to access it ?

If its an old single stage converter, abandon it and install a 3 or 4 stage smart charger/converter near the batteries.

So I could mount near the battery and then run the wires back to the power center under the fridge?

There should already be wires from the battery to the power center. Just disable the 120 volt wires to the old converter.
