deliver around 100 amps DC with reasonable efficiency and reliability?"

Mick says: If you do not require American land based certifications, 
check out www.victronenergy.com  I have found these marine grade 
chargers to be reliable and efficient. I have not measured "energy in" 
versus "energy out" to calculate efficiency but they seem to not throw 
off a lot of heat.

Victron has a 100 amp, 24 volt charger in their Centaur line and in 
their Skylla line. Skylla is more sophisticated but requires 240 volt AC 
for full power--that's usually not a problem if there's a generator 
involved. Centaur will run off 120 or 240 AC.

You didn't mention a wish for "low price". That's good because: the 
Skylla 100/24 would carry an MSRP around $2535; Centaur is about 8.5% 
cheaper. 

I am a Victron distributor so you could contact me off list if you would 
like a quote for resale purposes.
