Just upgraded to 6 volt
I have two Trojan T105+ deep cycles that I replaced my old 12 volt boat batteries with. Series wired, off course. I suspect I'll have more amp hours now. Question; should I do any maintenance on t...

They supposedly were pretty new. Would running one or both of my gennies hooked up for a few hours top them off?
No. A gen just supplies 120v to a battery charger. It is the charger that will top them off. If it can.
If you mean the 12v outlet on a Honda gen or whatever brand, yes BUT you have to watch it like a hawk because the voltage can go way high and you have to stop when it tries to go over say 16.2 volts (Trojan equalize voltage) keep checking the hydrometer.
Once you have them all the way up, that is your "baseline SG" target for future recharges so you know you are all the way full. At that point you can reset your Trimetric AH counter to zero and start over.
Thank you for responding.
What I mean is starting up both of my Yamaha gennies, or one at a time, and plugging them into the side of my TT, for the purpose of charging the two 6 volt deep cycle batteries I just installed on trailer's hitch.
