Considering battery longevity, does OP want to charge his two 6V 220Ah Costco batteries at 60A? That's over 20%c. Going that high occasionally wouldn't be a concern but should that be his SOP?
Need to weigh generator run time vs battery longevity?
At 13.6 volts that's not really going to matter much. What is recommended is .125 C. With 220 amp-hours that works out to 27.5 amps.
Above 85% state of charge, if the voltage is higher than needed, the battery will gas.
The PD bulk voltage is 14.4V whereas the Iota is 14.75V. This is why I don't like my DLS-35, it bulks too high for my 100Ah DC29.
Just something for OP to consider
