Increasing battery capacity
Is there anything else required to installing 2 6 volt deep cycle batteries other than just removing my old battery, and making sure the 2 new ones are wired in series correctly? Will my current char...

Thanks for the help. I won't need to run anything major like AC,Hair Dryer,Microwave, etc, but I definitely will need to run 2 tv's, 2 satellite controllers and 1 satellite dish at the same time. So I am thinking about a 1000w inverter.
But I need help with the math. If I have an LED TV that uses 100 watts (I know this is probably a little high), then I divide that by 120 volts which equals about .83 amps. Now here is where I am confused. SInce I will be running this off of a 12 volt inverter, then would I need to divide the 100 by 12? This would equal about 8.3 amps of draw on the battery. The reason I ask, is this makes a big difference as to what size battery bank I need.
Now my plan is to recharge my batteries every morning with a generator, so assuming I get dual 6volt batteries (~205 AH), how long will it take my generator to charge them? (Assuming I will be using the converter/charger that came with my camper. (2017 Jayco 29.5 BHDS)
Edit:
I just checked and I have a 60amp 4 stage converter/charger rated at 1000 watts input, so a 2000 watt generator should charge it just fine, but I am not sure how long it will take.
