Correct MPPT for 2 x 380w LG Neon panels for 12v battery system

We are a small football charity with an off-grid secure compound. We'r installing a solar system on an off-grid storage container to maintain a defibrillator unit in winter and recharge equipment batteries in the summer. We have 2x LG Neon LG380N1K-e6 panels:

At STC:

Pmax 380w

Vmpp:35.2V

Impp:10.83A

VoC: 41.7V

Isc: 11.43V

This is to feed 2x Ultramax 100AH LiFePo4 12v batteries in parallel.

I already have a Victron Smartsolar MPPT 100/15 and Victron Energy Phoenix Inverter 12/250 230V VE.Direct. I'm told by our electrician that the 100/15 is sized too small for the panels (2xImpp of 21.66A at STC). Should I replace this MPPT with a Victron 100/50 or purchase another MPPT 100/15 to save costs? What would your recommended setup be? Thank you.

A Smartsolar 100-50 would be ideal for those 2 380w panels and a 12v battery system.
