Yeah, as if the generator has an automatic cut off when the converter's amperage crosses a certain threshhold?
A manual charging source is not something that needs to be stressed out over or baby sat. It is not as if another hour longer than required at 14.8v is going to make the battery explode, or die instantly.
I'd fear the ' it dropped to float so it must be fully charged' mentality far more. Premature efloatulation has killed way more deep cycle batteries than a manual charger holding absorption voltage too long.
