If you aren't interested in understanding the hows and the whys, I suggest just putting back a unit that matches the original. It may not save you any money or charge faster or more efficently but at least you are unlikely to damage anything or create other issues.
In fact, my original answer changes based on your response. A perfect example of why you need to know the hows and whys. Originally, it appeared that you did an occasional overnight away from power, which means you really don't gain anything with a larger charging system and could go significantly smaller with no real impact. The update says 4-5 days away from power are not uncommon. Of course that leads to the question, do you run the generator for other purposes anyway. If you are going to run the generator 4hrs each day regardless, you still don't gain any significant benefit from a larger charger.
