What's the best, fastest way to recharge batteries using a generator (Honda 2000, though that shouldn't make a difference)? For this discussion, ignore having to run anything else while charging, either 12 or 110V. The options are
a) Go through trailer converter via umbilical cord.
b) Turn battery isolation switch to Off, then hook up generator to charger then to batteries, using a three stage "smart" charger.
With latter approach, it took a bit over two hours to get two new Group 24 Interstates from 80% to almost 100%, after letting the freshly charged batteries sit overnight to get a valid reading.
For what it's worth, in eco mode, the generator never came off idle in either configuration.
Any way to speed things up?
Thanks in advance to what may be one of the sharpest forums on-line.
