The generator will bring up my batteries (sufficiently to start the
engine) in a couple of hours. If your batteries aren't charging that
quickly, I'd suggest checking your regular chargers and upgrading
them to more modern ones. Check out offerings from Iota. A charger
with 40 to 60 amps ought to be plenty fast to get you on the road
after running the generator for an hour or two.

I note, too, that it's very unwise to run batteries down below 50% of
their rated amp-hours as that can damage them. Even at 50%, most BBs
should be able to turn over the engine -- but I've never had to put
my coach to that test...
