The problem with ANY lead acid battery is that the only time you will have a fully charged battery is on day one of a trip. This because LA batteries slow down on accepting charge as they get closer to full. To fully charge a LA battery takes a VERY long time, and it doesn't matter what the charging source is..... Even a DC to DC charger cannot do it.
The solution is to change the batteries to Lifpo chemistry
I'll disagree. it doesn't take very long to get to about 90% SOC with a good charger/generator and solar combo. then switch to solar only and another hour or so to top off to 100%. Charging starts at near 100-120A, and when it tapers to about 15A I switch generator off and let the solar finish.
even using solar only we often end up at 100%SOC by afternoon and we aren't real energy concious. And run our panasonic true inverter microwave as needed off a 1000VA inverter. Batteries are 4 GC-2's
