Generators should be exercised monthly.
With the generator running the converter is charging your battery at a higher voltage than 12.6 VDC so you battery status indicator will almost immediately show fully charged as all it is doing is sensing the voltage.
If you have a 55 amp converter and run the generator for only 15 minutes you have only charged at best 13 amp-hours into your roughly 200 AH capacity batteries. That won't change the state of charge much. You will have to run the generator for at least 2 hours to make a noticeable difference.
