You opened the door. You are horribly wrong.

So, and I doubt I'm understanding this correctly:
My inverter will draw power from my batteries, add voltage to the pedestal voltage when needed, and will kick on the generator when the batteries need added to.
Inverter does not supplement. Inverter changes 12 volt to 120 volts.

Inverter does not auto start generator.

Inverter does not change 109 to 120 volts. An autoformer does that.

Inverter does not ADD power from the batteries to the shore power. Inverter powers some 120 volt shore power circuits that are hooked to it.

Inverter does allow for 120 volt pass thru voltage when hooked to shore power.

Converter charges the batteries.
