Amps and charging with a generator
If my 3 stage converter is rated at 55 amps, does this mean when it is hooked up to shore power, it can replenish an 80 amp hour (group 27 battery) in about 1.5 hours? ie. 80 / 55 = 1.45. Does 55 a...

Yes and no. Yes the converter is capable of 55 amps. No a group 24 battery is not capable of accepting 55 amps for a full hour. Especially not at the top 20% of charge.
Any chance this is a WFCO converter? Measure the voltage to verify if you are getting boost mode 14.4 volts. If you only get 13.6 volts then amps will taper quickly and charging from low to 100% will take 12 to 24+ hours.
