The two sets of terminals on the converter/charger essentially act as a bus bar making the connection from battery to DC panel. The same connection currently exists at the panel. Making this change is just moving the connection point farther up stream (electrically bringing the battery closer to the converter/charger).

Thanks! Didn’t think of that approach, but it makes sense. I’d be curious to see what you gain in voltage and amperage. I would love to hear more data if you end up doing that. I am still planning it all out and will do the same as well when I start this portion of the project.

When I did my recent upgrades to lithium batteries on my 303RLS Reflection and added my inverter and such...I wanted all my electronical components up front for ease of maintenance and max efficiency for charging and etc. For about $20 or less, one can move their converter/charger (assuming it's separate from their 120V panel) from somewhere hidden and less accessible to right near their battery bank making the converter/charger to battery/bus DC leads very short for max efficiency. I just used some old 12 ga cord that I had laying around and added a standard 3-prong plug to one end which plugs into the 120v panel and then wired the other end into my newly located and upgraded 120A charger/converter in the front compartment. Now there is no concern of voltage drop across the DC charging side, cost was cheap, and I can easily get to all the electrical connections without removing basement panels and such. It's another option to consider that costs very little and is very simple to do.
