I never recommend trying to fully charge with a generator anyway: its
too fuel inefficient. A good 4 hour bulk charge from 50% back to 80%
SOC, and then hope the sun shines again. I usually set the voltage on
the high side (they usually run the it in the winter), and program the
run time to 4 to 6 hours (depends on the generator to battery ratio)
Trying to do 3 stage charging off grid from a generator can cost up
around a $1.00/ Kwh.

Otherwise a good bulk charge to get by till the sun comes back would work
