No converter just battery charger?
For reference, I'm building a small camper from scratch... So I keep running the numbers and my four LED lights are barely going to put a dent in a battery. I am having difficulty rationalizing spe...

You get different numbers because "it depends."
The battery itself has an "acceptance rate" which is the most amps it will take in at the state of charge it is at and the voltage it is at.
There are differences among battery types too, such as between Wet and AGM.
You start out at a fairly high charging rate until the battery gets up in state of charge (SOC) and then hold the voltage there while amps taper off as SOC keeps rising. So the charging rate slows down after that first part the more the battery gets charged up.
So it is no use talking about 10% or 20% charging rate unless you specify where along in the recharge you are measuring at. The charging rate will change from there.
