What exact battery charger are you operating?

The battery resistance is a non-issue. Amps are amps on the DC side of the circuit. What may be happening is that the charger output voltage may be changing which can change power output and requiring more or less input power.

An inverter generator is power limited at reduced RPM. The generator creates DC power that supplies the inverter. Lower RPM means lower generator output power and less power available from the inverter.
