Simple solution is a 24 volt smart charger. Mine cost $160; has a 6 amp charge rate; and will run off a modified sine wave inverter, generator, or shore power. Before you tell me a 6 amp battery charger is too small, running a 24 volt 200 amp thruster for 1 minute draws less than 4 amps out of the battery. So an hour or 2 will have it back to float charge. My inverter is always on when I'm running.
