Also, I'm supposed to have the Inverter turned ON while plugged in so the batteries charge right? I hope that's not a dumb question, probably is. :)
The inverter takes the 12vdc and outputs 120vac. It is designed to run some 120vac things when not plugged in. It should not be necessary to have on when plugged in.
The converter gives you 12vdc from the 120vac. It is used to charge the battery and power all the 12v things when plugged in. If the lights get brighter when you plug in, the converter is working.
Do you have a multimeter or a 120v test light?
