Try to avoid spending way too much money on a too small whiz-bang super genius charger. For one discharged group 24 RV battery 40 amps is plenty but too many "smart" chargers are too stupid to understand "time is money" when it comes to being connected to a generator. When they should be hammering out 14.8 volts for the last half hour of charge, they decide to kick back and take life easy.
Get recommendations here from folks who have chargers connected to gen sets and then pay attention por favor to the fact that many gensets develop bad power. Like running a car on 69 octane fuel. A 400 horsepower turbocharged air foil special may deliver 90 horsepower. I believe the inverter generators are better at this but being I do not own one, I must not delve too deeply here. Perhaps actual users can deliver "hands on" advice"
You want speed? Two 40 amp chargers for 2 RV batteries. I don't blame you. I had at one time 400 amps recharging so I did not have to put up with a "quiet" diesel genset for long.
