OK I think I understand. The more charged the battery gets, the more the resistance to the charge. I guess my biggest question is how many amps will my generator replenish my batteries with an hour or so run per day? I have already done the math on my typical usage on a cold night with the furnace kicking on and I am estimating 50 amps per day usage at most. My train of thought was that if my converter/charger is capable of at least a nominal 35 amps or so (rated at 45 amps) per hour, running generator for hour and a half would replenish "most" of the 50 amps used correct?
But now I hear the generator may not put out the same power to the converter as shore power, and that really blows all of this out of the water, and really doesn't make sense, considering I thought the whole idea of a generator was to be the "shore power" when no "shore power" was available! Mind boggling.
