As mentioned, your battery will only accept the amps it can at that SOC and at that voltage, so yes get the 55 or even the 60 in case you get a second battery someday.
You need a flashlight and a small screwdriver to do the adjusments, and a voltmeter to watch while you twiddle the pot. You can use cut off ends of jumper cables (#8 or fatter gauge) in the terminals to make it a portable charger.
Looks like they forgot about the PF when telling you the watts---see my post above for the real draw on the gen with a 55 amper (it was with a PowerMax)
They get the 120v input right in their table at 11 amps.
11 x 120v = 1320
EDIT-- note 975 x 100/70 = 1393 which is closer to the 1380 I get.
