Probably a simple question — can you simultaneously charge a battery bank (LiFePo4 w. BMS) while the (hybrid) inverter (Sol-Ark) is connected and running as well? This would be a scenario where there isn’t enough solar to charge the batteries during a power outage but I don’t want to shut down the inverter. If the inverter is drawing 1000W, and a 48V charger that can deliver 1500W is connected in parallel, will it supply 500W net to the batteries to charge them? Any reason why you can’t/shouldn’t do this? Would there be an issue if the charger and the inverter are both trying to charge the batteries (when the sun comes out from behind the clouds) or will they just reach max voltage when the batteries are full and automatically stop supplying power?
My thinking is to power the inverter from my RAV4 Prime that has a 120V output rated up to 1800W if I recall correctly during a long power outage.
