Time to charge a bank of 8 6v batteries using a generator

This is all hypothetical but lets say that I have a bank of 8 6v Costco golf cart T105 batteries, hooked up to produce 12v output. With the right converter, how long would it take to charge this setup...

You said: "With the right converter" the answer is six hours.

Now: the problem is this: What is the RIGHT converter... About 200 amps.

The math: 230 (the C/20 Capacity in amp hours of a single pair of T-105) times 3 = 690, times 0.3 180+27 = 207 amp s.. So rounding slightly 200 amps)

I do not think they make one that big.. At least not a good 3-stage RV unit, Might find one for Fork Lifts that big.
