Inverter? or Converter?
Converter is the built in unit that uses 120 Volt AC power to charge the batteries. Inverter is usually an add on unit that makes 120 Volt AC power from the batteries.
If your Converter is bad, yes the batteries will eventually go dead and while they may be dmaged it isnt necessarily fatal.
As with almost everything 12 volt power connected, check the grounds first, a bad ground anywhere can stop everything from working.
