The PD would essentially be an uncontrollable charging source. There is no way to just use the converter portion so we therefore pulled the reverse polarity fuses so as to remove it from the battery.
No, I don't have an inverter/charger. It is just an inverter. My battery plant is charged from either the converter or solar panels or both.
