Further reading, I think I'll be okay. Battery charge rate for lead acid is about C/8, a group 24 is about 80AH, and charge rate is I think C/8, so charge current I believe will be 10A. That's approximately 1A at the 120V inverter outlet, and this forum discussion says, "It takes approximately 12 to 14 amps of DC power to produce 1 amp of AC power from an inverter." 14 amps on an alternator shouldn't be TOO bad--I think.
