Using a generator, time is money.
Each of those batteries when discharged can SAFELY accept 40 amperes up until 14.8 volts and this voltage should not be exceeded during regular generator charging. Keep the EIGHTY AMPERE figure in mind. It is the fastest and least expensive method to recharge.
$3.80 gallon gasoline. Thirty gallons PAYS for another battery. Keep THAT in mind.
A combination "smart" charger PLUS a regular charger to = 80 amperes max in my mind is the way to go. The "smart" charger can maintain your battery automatically when you're not paying three dollars a kilowatt hour, rather thirty cents.
