Charging Rate of Honda 2000
Boon-docking. Charging 2 six volt batteries in series....how long should the generator run to bring up batteries one volt? I typically run it in "ECO" mode out of consideration for others. Thanks for...

Your question is impossible to answer with the information you have provided.
We need to know the amp-hour rating of the battery bank
We need to know what the resting voltage is before starting charging.
We need to know the type and size of charger (converter).
We need to know the ambient temperature.
After all that is known some sort of guesstimate might be made.
However, voltage is a poor way to judge state of charge.
It is generally thought that approximately 12.8 volts is fully charged and that 12.2 is 50%. So if you are starting from 11.8 volts the bank has been deep cycled and the batteries may have suffered permanent damage.
