The generator starter shouldn't pull over 100Amps. Charge amprage from the 12V generator alternator will likely be in the 20 to 25 Amp range (max).
You can get an induction amp meter Alter Systems On-line Shop
that you can temporarily hold on top of the wire while the gen is cranking, to get an idea of amprage draw.
Some auto parts stores carry these also.
