Hogwash !  It will fully charge it eventually, just takes longer is
all.  In fact, once it's been charged the first time, the bigger battery
will actually recharge faster, because both the charge and discharge are
more efficient.  (Note the suggestion in the driver's manual to charge
the battery after a winter run.  Good advice, since the generator won't
keep up if everything is turned on.)

Get the biggest battery that will fit in the battery box.
