Can you use a dc-ac power inverter to run a battery charger to charge another battery?

No. There are losses involved with each stage of the conversion, from DC to AC, and from AC back to DC. The battery running this would gradually discharge. Any other result would constitute a perpetual motion machine which, in this imperfect world, is impossible.

What is the Difference between off-line and online UPS?
The offline UPS is in standby mode. The charger is maintaining the battery, but the inverter stage is not running. Power goes from input to output, bypassing the inverter. In this configuration, the charger and inverter design is less, as the charger is usually in trickle mode and the inverter does not need to run continuously. On power fail, the inverter starts up and takes the load. There is a glitch in output, a few line cycles, but most loads can handle this. The online UPS runs all the time. The charger now runs the inverter, as well as maintaining charge on the battery. The inverter supplies the load. Power goes from input to charger to inverter to output. In this configuration, the charger and inverter design is more, as they need to run continuously. On power fail, there is no glitch, because the inverter is already running and supplying the load. Usually, there is synchronization between the inverter and the line, so that failure of the inverter can initiate fall-back to the line without glitch.
What happens IF the wires from a battery charger are put the wrong way round onto battery terminals and left to charge?
charger i had was wired wrong. soon as it was plugged in the charger stopped working. if wires are wrong it just will not charge and can be dangerous!
How long will a 4 watt solar charger take to put 1 amp into a caravan battery?
A very, very, long time with direct sunlight. Charge your battery with a battery charger
How long time will be taken by the 12V 7Ah charger to charge a 12V 22Ah battery?
A charger designed for a 12 volt battery should not be used to charge an 8.4V battery. It is likely to damage the battery and in the worst case can cause a fire. There are some chargers that can be used with a variety of battery voltages and chemistries but unless you are certain that the charger is safe and effective on a different battery voltage, assume that it cannot be used.
How much does it cost to recharge a cell phone battery?
Only running cost is the cost of electricity consumed to charge the battery through a charger. How many units of electricity is consumed will depend on the capacity of battery, efficiency of the charger (and so losses of energy in the charger in form of heat and radiation). You can estimate the power consumed by the voltage and wattage rating of the charger and how long it takes to charge the phone battery fully. - Neeraj Sharma
Can you charge a 500mA battery with a 1300mA charger?
Yes, you can charge a 500mA battery with a 1300mA charger.
LG Phoenix 2 wont turn on?
Either the battery is not retaining its charge - OR - the charger isn't charging the battery. Either way try using another battery - or charger.
How can you get your battery to charge with out the charger?

What do you do if your blackberry has a dead battery and once you put the charger in it still won't work?
You try another charger that is suitable for your phone or tell a technician If the battery won't hold a charge, you may have to purchase another battery.
Can i charge a 12 volt battery with a charger that's pluged into a inverter charged by the same battery?
Of course not. You are just moving stored energy in a circle. Without an outside source of energy then you are accomplishing nothing.
What is the fastest way to charge the battery?
There is no only one way to charge it and that is with a battery charger. A 15 amp battery charger will charge it about as fast as it needs to be charged.
Can you run a 8000 watt inverter off a battery and charge the battery at the same time?
it depends exactly what system you are running. im guessing you mean of a car battery and small charger. no. you will inevitably kill the battery, then the charger will overheat, short, and smoke the inverter. however if you had a large bank of batterys and suitably large charge system then there should be no problem. e.g.a solar system charges battery through the day while large volumes of power are drawn through an inverter to power appliances. if your inverter has a low power cut off and your charger has an overheat protection system then you could most likely try it. many good inverters (12 - 240v or 12 - 150v) have low voltage protection which switch off at 12.1v saving your battery also. remember if you drain your battery, recharge it asap.
Can you purchase a battery charger for your 2008 dodge charger?
sure, you can buy a battery charger that will charge any car battery.
Can you charge a 28 volt Gill aircraft battery with a 12 volt car charger?
No, the battery charger has to match the voltage of the battery it is to charge.
How long do you need to charge your car battery using an automatic battery charger?
If it is an automatic charger let it charge until the charger shuts off.
How do you charge battery in a 2005 DeVille?
There are a couple of ways to charge a battery in a 2005 DeVille. You can use jumper cables with the use of another battery. You can also use a portable battery charger.
What does a trickle charger do to a battery?
A trickle charger is a car battery charger that is designed to be left on a car for very long periods of time to re-charge that car battery by slowly adding charge to the battery.
