For long life of rather expensive batteries it is necessary to bring them to 100% SOC (state of charge) with some regularity and keep them from going below 50% SOC. To do this accurately you need a battery monitor, either Victron or Trimetric. See http://www.solar-electric.com/deep-cycle-battery-faq.html
Using voltage as a measure is NOT accurate.
Getting to 100% SOC is hard using a generator as they will have difficulty getting that last few percent.
