battery charging> which is best
which method of charging a battery would be the fastest and most efficient when off the grid. a. plugging the camper into a generator, running of course. (110v line) b. plugging camper into the ...

Between the converter and battery charger(s) there is also the question of what volt-amps (watts, sort of) the generator can supply.
If lots, then you can have more charger(s) amps than the converter's amps. Unless you have a 100 or so amp charger that is PF corrected and your charger(s) are not PF corrected and perhaps total less amps anyway.
Then there is the voltage limit of the converter and the charger(s) to compare, despite the amps "size" to compare, where 14.x beats 13.x in volts for what amps you get.
Also a slight matter of DC set-ups /connections/wire gauges/ length of wires to compare and their levels of 120v AC inputs wrt actual 120v. Is one on a long extension cord for 120 and another on a short one? Is one on a Honda generator at 125V?
Must be something else... :)
