If expecting a fast charge from a generator...
I strongly recommend Progressive Dynamics with Wizard or IOTA with IQ controller. Both of these models hold absorption voltage at 14.2 to 14.4 volts for an extended period. Both also reduce voltage if plugged in continuously. Additionally both will periodically boost charge the battery when floating.
Boondocker does not hold voltage above 13.6 volts after the bulk charge. Absorption is at 13.6 volts and very slow as you charge from about 75% to 100%. I recommend to avoid the 'boondocker' for charging with a generator.
