General Converter questions. was: Battery Chargers and care

[Toby Folwick <toby_folwick@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just to verify - if I want to make AC into DC I need a
convertor right?

by that rationale, DC to AC would be an inverter
right?

so if both of those are the case, and I'm setting up
my trailer to be primarily solar powered, and will be
running lights (2/3rd of them anyway) on DC power, it
would be smart for me to get a couple good batteries
and a convertor (to charge the batteries in case I'm
plugged in to shore power)

right?
