Battery Recharge Time using Generator

Hard question for you.

If I had

4 batteries - 6 volt, 225 AH at 20 Hour Rate (Trojan T-105) and the
batteries were 50% discharged,

and I had a 55Amp Battery Charger with 13.6/14.2v direct current

running off a Guardian 7kW (6kw with natural gas) Generator -

approx how long would the generator need to run, using natural gas, to
recharge the batteries (assuming no other load from the generator or
from the batteries)???
