Does the inverter also has in-built charging mechanism for the batteries?

WHAAA??? Its a power inverter to go from DC to AC current, it uses your vehicles battery(s) and inverts it to AC power so you can run saws, fridge, etc. The most I've done with it a sawzall(Dewalt fullsize); power strip-ran fridge, tv, laptop, dvd, home theater together.

The only thing that it can charge is your phone. There is a port for that on the front.

you're looking for something like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FIVO4LW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid;=XZ0V2R2K35YG&coliid;=I1N7OI56Y7BPNNThat unit will charge the batteries when provided 110VAC and switch over to a pure sine wave output inverter if the AC is interrupted.

Inverters with built-in chargers are very common in countries where the electricity goes out a lot. When there is AC current they charge your batteries and when the AC cuts out the inverter kicks in so fast you hardly notice it. They are usually much larger. However this one, like most sold in the US, does not have a built in charger. You can hook this one up to your car battery, that is charged by your alternator, or to solar system, whose batteries are charged by solar panels. You would need a battery charger to charge your batteries with AC current when using this inverter.

No, it doesn't. I checked Orbtronic's site; nothing there either. Look up power inverter. I found a fairly compact one at Walmart a while back as well.

No it doesn't, but I bought rechargeable batteries so that I always have an extra charged set of batteries.

No, the batteries can only be charged in their specifically designed chargers.

No it does not but so far so good; it gets me through a ten hours graveyard shift without fail. I think you can order a spare and separate charger just for the battery at a reasonable price if you want.

Not that I am aware of, I plug it into the wall outlet to charge my extra battery

Of course, the inverter is a separate system, but you will need a charging source in the meantime

The inverter has the cable with MC4 connector as shown in the picture. The other cable has a special connector to plug into the trunk cable (not included)

Yes it does, in my case, the quality of charger was bad, the pins are loose and the charger is useless, so I can get the batter charged only when it is inserted in phone. Does not see then point of bying extra batteries.

You can use solar power to charge a battery conected to this inverter , but you cannot hook the solar panels straight to the inverter.

No. It has a plug that you use to charge a rechargable battery that is built in to product

You're probably thinking of a charge controller, not an inverter. And yes, you always need a charge controller so you don't overcharge the battery with the solar panel

No, the charger does. Re-charge internal battery on the charger. One charge lasts up to a month.

Yes it comes with an AC adapter to run off house current and if rechargable batteries are installed it will charge them as well.

The one I ordered did not but that's the way I want it I already have three chargers and 6 batteries. there was an option to buy it with the batteries and a charger

No, you will need an external switch to do that. Also you need to make sure it bypasses your charging system, so that you are not trying to charge your batteries from the inverter.

2x 110 volt plugs on the front of the inverter, just plug in a power strip and the inverter is ready to supply power from batteries (I have 2 x105 amp hrs hooked in parallel for a 210 amp hour 12 volt bank). Green lights on the front of the inverter tell you the batteries are fully charged). Highly recommended equitment
