Charging 2 Interstate Batteries through 45 amp converter

Does anyone here have any experience charging their batteries with a Honda EX 1000 (non inverter) generator? I'd like to try it while dry camping for a week at the Sun & Fun fly in next month in Lake...

It could go either way. You don't say what kind of converter you have, but if it isn't PF corrected, the 1K genny might not handle it. If the batteries are low enough that the converter goes into boost mode at 45 amps, that's about 648 watts. If PF corrected, good to go. If the PF is .7 as my WFCO is, that's 925 VA. Not so good.
