Scott:

We have the same problem getting the 1350 amp hrs of batteries back  
up to snuff.  I have added an additional AC powered 70 amp charger so  
along w/ the Trace SW2512 we can get about 160+ amps into the battery  
bank.  Still takes a long time if we're down to  50 or 60% of  
capacity.  So I have a suggestion - spend three days on the hook and  
then travel a longer distance:).  For us any trip of 4 to 6 hours  
will give us another 3 days so sometimes we skip anchorages on the  
way "up" and stop there on the way "back".
