I want to wire my inverter with switch to my converter so I can run my whole trailer on the batteries if I do not have shore power.
My converter also has a charger and all the 12 volt is distributed through it, so when the converter is getting 120 VAC it is also charging the batteries.
Therefore when I am connected to shore power my inverter will be charging the batteries and the converter will also be charging.
Edit: just a thought but when I am not plugged into shore power the inverter will be feeding power to my converter therefore would I have power to my 12 volt distribution and if so could I disconnect the cables from my battery to the converter?
You don't need to mess around with both the IC and the converter with just 2 batteries. Just use the IC to charge.
Again, why does the converter have to be on?
