Two Group 29s 200 amp hours total (roughly) times 0.3 = 60 amps max charging rate. So that 45 amp converter.. Good choice The Honda 1,000 can do it.
If the batteries are half full then you will need about 2.5 hours to get 'em to 90 percent (There is some loss in the process) and at about 4 hours to finish them off if I recall correctly.. NOTE: that 4 hours part.. if you had a 60 amp converter and a 2,000 watt Generator, it would still be 4 hours.
If you had a 60 amp converter (That is about the max for the honda) you'd gain about 30 minutes in recharge time is all, Not worth the added cost.
PLUS.. with the 45 amp converter you have a few watts left over if you want to watch TV or listen to radio. or type on computer.
