Anyone know how I calculate how long I would have to run a 3kw generator to recharge two 80Ah leisure batteries? Assuming that once 50% discharged they will have 12.3V and when fully charged they hold 12.7V, then it seems to me that it shouldn't take too long to charge 0.4 volts. But there again, I read somewhere on here that you are supposed to recharge slowly.....as a rule of thumb I thought I read that if you spend 2 days discharging, you should spend 2 days charging. That seems like a long time to be running a noisy generator!
I'm pretty sure I'm making a big mistake somewhere!
