I can assure you that an invertor will not charge your batteries, no matter how long you leave it hooked up. You can however buy a combination invertor/chargerthat will. But why? You have a perfectly working convertor that you have already paid for. Why not just leave that as is and buy a simple invertor sized for what ever device you want to run. That will be cheaper for you since you already have a battery charger bought and paid for. I do not know what you want to run, but I can tell you that if you are going to try and run a microwave or a/c system for any amount of time you will need to clean out your basement and fill it full of batteries. You can purchase an invertor in most any automotive supply store, truck stop, or big box store. It's going to get complicated and more expensive the more automatic you want it. We have a $200 generator that I start up and plug the trailer into when I have the need. Cheap and easy. But we don't boondock.
