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...

And what would these 'right' converters and generators be?


Best shot is two 90 amp IOTAs with a parallel IQ controller.
Take about 3 to 5 hours to get a good charge in from low.
Maybe 10 hours to 100%.

Probably 4000 watt generator minimum.
