[RE-wrenches] Additional Battery Charger

[benn kilburn]

G'day Wrenches,
 I'm looking for an additional charger(s) to increase the charging capacity from the back-up 12 kW Onan generator into the 1200 Ah battery.  Right now the generator's full potential output is limited by the charging capacity of the two VFX3648's which have a max charge output of 45A each.
The idea here is to use the generator to its full charging capacity when it is running, taking in to consideration that the generator will feed any AC loads before charging the battery. 
Iota and IBE chargers have been suggested.  Any comments on these or other makes?
Do all generator types (diesel, propane, LNG, gasoline) run more efficiently when fully loaded?  or is this only the case with diesel (so i've heard)?
thanks,benn
