For $170 you can get 220 amp hours of 6 volt deep cycle at sams or costco. It's a step above a group battery because it's a actual deep cycle. The only draw back is that they are taller than gp batteries. No matter if 12 volt or 6 volt, when using a generator it's beneficial to be sure your charging system is working well. A converter upgrade is about $125.00 and can take your charge voltage from 13.6 to 14.4 or more. Often times converters that put out 13.6 will only have 13.5 or 13.4 hitting the battery which is slightly over float voltage of 13.2.
Part of the issue can be resistance in the wire from the converter to the battery. Resistance is determined by wire size, distance and temperature, with temperature not being a concern for those of us who are not working in a laboratory with super conductors.
