Inverter is to change 12 VDC to be 110 VAC. Converter is to change 110 VAC to 12 VDC. Two completely separate functions. Your battery charger is a converter. Plugging into the 110 VAC wall outlet should keep your batteries charged up and in good condition, assuming the charger is on. Inverter will drain the batteries, whereas the converter (aka charger) will replenish the batteries.
