You don't have to disconnect any wires, just clamp on the portable charger. Sometimes with smart portable chargers, you need to turn off the converter first and get the portable going and then turn the converter on. Once the portable is running ok, you can have both chargers on.
You can also use your battery disconnect switch to isolate the battery from the converter. You can run the rig 12v on the converter while the portable charges the batts. That way there is no draw on the batts while you are trying to charge them, which gives you full charger amps and less gen time.
The batts will charge at net amps in and out, so if you have a 40amp charger and a 5 amp draw, you are in effect charging at 35 amps instead of 40.
I don't believe I have a battery disconnect switch ???
