Diff between Inverter & Converter Charger & battery drain

Is there a difference between an "inverter", and a "Converter Charger"? Or are they one and the same? I ask this because we have a Model 7345 Converter Charger made by Parallax Power Components......

Thanks for the info.

So I am assuming that a Converter-Charger also works to charge the 12 volt house battery when either the Generator is running or when the house is plugged in to 120 volts correct?


That's correct. Typical converter connects to both batteries and DC distribution panel. Depending on rig the converter can also charge chassis battery but that's not common on typical rig.
