Another battery question
So many threads here about batteries and charging, I can't believe I'm starting another! Well, I've learned a ton, and actually if I was starting from scratch I know pretty much what I'd do to create ...

NO, a Honda eu2000i will NOT support 95 dc amps of charging.
You may be very hard pressed to find a vec1093. If you do, grab it!
That 55a wfco will be a relatively high C/3 rate... good with those two 80Ah agm's in parallel, in one sense, but will drop out of 14.4v bulk, and go into 13.6v abs mode fairly early on; well before 80% soc. That will add to your gen run times considerably. Yes, you'll be able to do a 50-75% soc in about 45 minutes, provided voltage doesn't drop off sooner, but once voltage does drop, you'll be looking at about 25 amps tapering, instead of 55. A charger that remains at 14.4v or higher is definitely needed. A 40a vector or adjustable psu would work very well, in this case.
