Inverter charge batteries?
I was looking at inverters and they said that they charge the batteries. Why do they do that? I already have a smart converter.

Converters are not in every coach as they are replaced by an inverter on the higher end coaches. These inverters do dual purpose by supplying 120VAC when off shore power and by charging batteries when on shore power.
My Magnum Energy 3000 watt inverter can charge at a rate of 125 amps.
So, having an inverter is the best way to go. I have never seen a converter supply 120vac
Inverter/chargers are more common in grid-tie applications; not a surprise they are showing up in Rv's
My first rv was a '99 year model and it had an inverter/charger so I don't think it anything new to the rv market.
