Inverters are a different matter, the output from a cheap inverter, such as might be used in a car, isn't a very accurate sine wave and may be far from "clean". Such a "dirty" output will cause the charger to get hot and may result in internal damage.

Actually, seldom as in Never, is the sine-wave from any wallsocket " clean".

Any charger could Not care two hoots about what that sine-wave looks like, as long as it is a Sine-wave...AUDIO Amplifiers would care, as the output will result in a " Gritty " sound.

I could see Two problems with a Not-well constructed DC -AC converter.

1) That it delivers a wave approaching a Square-wave , which is not very likely ,but possible.

2) That the DC-AC converter is " leaking" Direct Current ( Highly Likely !! ) which Will cause Problems for Any Alternating Current appliance.

To recap...AC are Pulses...DC is a steady flow , so DC into an AC appliance will Overheat said appliance , causing a Melt down, in Extreme circumstances even cause Fire...Hence Nikon`s Warning !!

A Well constructed DC-AC converter is Very Expensive,as in well over a Thousand Quid .
