How long it will take your generator to charge your battery depends on your converter. It converts the 120vac to 12vdc, actually somewhere between 14.8v and 13+ v depending on the converter and the battery state of charge. Modern converters are 3 or 4 stage, starting at the high level and reducing the voltage as the battery gets recharged. Usually the OEM converter is a cheap thing and does not do a very good job. The older converters are only single stage and take a long time to fully charge a battery.
If you measure the charging voltage while the battery is being charged you can get an idea if your converter is doing its job. Progressive Dynamics is one of the good modern converters.
Without knowing what your converter is, no one can tell you how long it will take to charge your battery.
