Inverter system charging ???
 
Someone told me it's possible to charge an inverter
system's batteries using a battery charger plugged
into the inverter that's being run by the batteries
you want to charge. Is there any truth to that, and
if so, how does it work?

That's like discovering perpetual motion...

It's not going to happen.

Some of the best inverters are only about 75% efficient, plus losing
efficiency though a battery charger. You'll actually be draining the
batteries ... at a quick rate.

It works very well. Send me a check for $500 and I'll send you the
instructions.

You won't be sorry you sent me the money! I promise.

It works very well, but how to do it is a secret. Don't listen to those
who say differently, they are ignorant of new scientific breakthroughs.

Send me five hundred dollars in cash and I'll send you the instructions.

You won't be sorry you sent me that money, I promise!

It works just as well as the perpetual motion machine in my basement.

You have one of those too?

If you have 2 half dead batteries it is possible to use them to juice up one
battery completely and leave the other dead.

That's what I told the dude that mentioned it. But he insisted
it's a common practice, so I thought about how it possibly
"could" work...maybe. IF the electrons in the battery are
just being moved from one side to the other, which is the
impression I got of how a battery works when I read about it
in detail years ago, then it seemed possible that maybe the
method would just move them back around to the positive
side again if there was any truth to it. Whether it would work
or not my impression is still that a battery charger doesn't
really add electrons to the battery, but just shifts them back
around to the other side of some barrier...I forgot what it's
called over the years.

It's not going to happen.

Of course it is true, go to here for more info:
