"Easy" was probably the wrong word. I'm hoping that with my 2 hours twice a day of generator use, I will be able to get higher than the 75% that I was able to achieve with the flooded deep cycle battery. I did a test last night with the furnace. Started with 12.75v, 12 hours of furnace use (high 30's outside temp) brought the new battery down to 12.57v (about 80% on my chart). With the battery I replaced, if I started at 100% after a 12 hour plug-in, it would be at 40% in the morning, then with 6 hours of charging via the generator (in 2 hour increments) I could only get it back up to about 75%. I'm going to charge for 2 hours tonight and tomorrow AM, and see where I end up. I'm optimistic.
