Powermax drops voltage to 13.6 too soon. Especially with 75 amps. You are getting maybe 75% charged then just a trickle.
I recommend a 60+ amp Progressive Dynamics or 45 to 60 amp IOTA converter for charging 2x GC2 with a 2000w generator.
Either of these will hold 14.2+ volts for an extended period for faster charging on generator.
That 'boondocker' is actually far better for just being plugged in.
You know , that makes alot of sense because latley right before I go to shut everything down after charging II've been wondering why Honda 2000 running so quiet , I mean real quiet like it aint doing any work , well anyways after I read your post I looked at my voltmeter and it read 13.6v so since boondocker is adjustable I turned it up to 14.2 ,, its been holding at 14.2v so far , I'll keep my eye on it
