Why don't you have a transfer switch to select shore power vs inverter power for the appliances?
So, if I understand you right, if the incoming amount of charge is at least equal to the outgoing usage it should not count towards the life cycle of a battery?Lead batteries once depleted need to get back up to Full ASAP for longevity, usually takes 7+ hours no matter how many amps made available from the shore charger.
Any concurrent loads will feed off the same charger, but the lead House bank will soon be trailing down amps consumption so that may not delay reaching Full.
Once Full, the loads are not drawing down from the House bank, no cycling is going on so long as the charger Float current is larger than the loads' draw, so not shortening bank lifespan.
Exactly. Say you have loads pulling 300W, a 400W charger will be putting 100W into the bank.So, if I understand you right, if the incoming amount of charge is at least equal to the outgoing usage it should not count towards the life cycle of a battery?
