12V charger for Lithium bank

I need to replace the Victron Energy Centaur Charger 12/100 24/60 that appears to have a short or some other failure.
Today I smelled that burned electrical smell and the breaker tripped for the charger. The burned electrical smell is definitely coming from the charger. It’s of an unknown age, at least 10+ years.

It is currently wired so it receives 110V power when on shore power and charges the Lithionics LiFePo4 battery.

I have a Victron Multiplus 12/3000/120‐50‐ 230V Inverter/charger that provides 230V to the AC outlets. It doesn’t help me with charging when I’m on 30A / 110V power here in Mexico.

I’d appreciate recommendations on gear I might consider.

TIA
