Does the WFCO ever go above 14.0 volts? 250 watts solar and the existing battery(s) would do a lot better. Maybe even leave the generator at home.
Lifeline (AGM) specs say charge at 14.4 volts. Trojan T-105 (flooded) says 14.8 volts.
Match the voltage to the actual batteries you get for best results.
Either way you probably need to replace the WFCO if using the generator.
The WFCO does not go to 14.4. It has 3 modes:
Absorption mode: 13.6v
Bulk mode: 13.2v
Float mode: If it detects usage jumps to Bulk mode for 4 hours.
Agree with matching batteries to converter. Not terribly interested in installing solar, at least for now. We just don't boon dock enough and normally in pretty shady spots.
WFCO Modes
Float: 13.2
Absorb: 13.6
Bulk: 14.4
