Ahmet,
I see the confusion. How can the inverter produce 120vac output from the
batteries yet also charge the batteries at the same time since both actions use
the inverter's transformers.
I will make a note to investigate this the next time I go to the boat and get
back to you.
The primary concept is that connecting 120vac dock power (or genset power) to
the output of an inverter will destroy all the FETs in the inverter. As my
manual says: "This damage is massive, obvious, and not covered by the warranty."

Hi Norm,
The first paragraph does not make sense to me.
How can you add power to the AC input and charge the batteries from it at the
same time?
