PowerMax does tend to drop to float 20 minutes after reaching 14.6 volts (at converter) and battery about 75% charged. The more amps the lower the state of charge when PM drops to 13.6 volts. Makes for a very long absorption time to 90+%. A second PowerMax may even slow you down.
If you are spending money on a converter to get a quick charge I only recommend IOTA or Progressive Dynamics.
He has the adjustable voltage 75 amper, so that is not an issue.
IMO keep running that 75 with the Honda 2000 you have, and buy a PM 100 amper (ADJ) ( pulls 1910VA) and a Yamaha 2400 to run that along with your additional batteries.
You don't have to parallel the generators, just put both chargers (dialed to the same voltage) on the four batteries and now you can get 175 amps.
