I don't have an inverter (have a Vegas) and I am a bit ignorant about its operation but I have a question. Why operate the inverter when you are running the generator? Is there a converter (with a charging circuit to charge the house batteries) or does the inverter charge the batteries? I ask because if there is a converter to convert the AC provided by the generator to DC for system operation and charging the house batteries?

It seems counter intuitive to use an inverter to invert DC power into AC when the generator is operating and providing AC current.

Pardon my ignorance about inverters -- but inquisitive minds would like to know.
