Inverters, whether on boats or RVs or anywhere else create 120 VAC from 12 or 24 VDC. They do not charge batteries unless they are an inverter/charger combination unit.

Converters take 120 VAC and create 12 VDC to power the DC loads and charge the batteries if they battery disconnect is closed. If the battery disconnect is open, the converter will only supply DC loads on the DC buss.
