Since I bought a multiplus-II and it should arrive soon, I am puzzled about this Victron inverter which is also a battery charger. I have a clue what an inverter is, that's why I bought it.
I see the words "battery charger" used in 4 places in the manual, and charger used 43 times. It has a charger switch, so I can be sure to charge a battery if I flip it.
I think, here is my electric car, so charge it with this additional feature. So I connect the battery charger and push the button....
But no. The inverter converts the DC battery power of your batteries to AC to run the house. The battery charger refers to using mains AC power to charge to your battery bank.
Is that right? It seems like a misfit function to me, adding an AC input to an inverter whose job is converting DC power to AC power. Maybe we should skip the whole thing and just use the AC power input to run the house to begin with.
