Carl, what happens if you don't turn off the converter?
The inverter uses 12V power from the battery to create 120V power. The converter uses the newly created 120V power to create 12V power to charge the battery. This is a variation on the idea of perpetual motion and it doesn't work any better in this case than any other implementation.
