What is missing from that reasoning is voltage drop.
With AC and 1200 W charger on undersized cord the beaker might stay on simply becouse at the end of the cord the voltage will drop to less than 100V and the cord resistance will not allow current big enough to pop the breaker.
Charger will deal with such low voltage just fine, but at some point you might face replacing AC motor, what usually means whole new unit.
