GeoffR , I do realize that you know what you are talking about,and that was actually my point , see 1) , that I pondered on AC and DC was to recap so as to avoid confusion to those who are not versed in the matter.OK, that is fair enough.
Tiny amounts of DC into AC and/or somewhat polluted Sine-wave can be Negligible , yet, as you Rightly pointed out , Too Much could end up in Disaster .
My pointing out that a real good DC/AC converter is a costly affair was meant as a heads-up to Robert to re-consider the project of connecting that Converter to power-up his Cherished and Costly charger/batteries.
My way of Not trying to be a " know it all " , just pointing out something.
If Robert wants to run a charger from an inverter in his car he could do worse than buy a clone charger (MH21) as they are much cheaper than a genuine Nikon version, this one, costs £15.
there is an obvious risk in that the charger may not be as well built as the original but charging an elderly EN-EL4 using a cheap clone with an inverter is a small financial risk, especially if he carries a wide mouth flask of cold water as a precaution against battery overheating.
If it works he has a solution, if not he has lost an old battery and £15.
Some time back I had a gentleman, on another site, trying to convince me that he knew, because he was a heating and ventilation engineer, that aircraft do not have recirculation fans. He went very quiet when I pointed out that I had type ratings on several aircraft and they most certainly do have recirculation fans. Sometimes it is necessary to explain the source of ones views.
