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...

I hope not that is too fast for charging a single 80 amp battery.
3 State chargingk, no matter if using generator or shore power starts with BULK mode.
Very few 3-stage converters maintain peak output during the entire bulk (they taper off) so if you have an 80 amp hour G-27 (Should be 90-95) Bat half full it should bulk in about 1 hour. perhaps a bit more depending on the taper
Stage 2 is absorption, this is the last,, about,,10% of the charge.. Takes at least 2 hours.
Stage 3 is float.. All done charging at this point.
