The transfer switches like # PD5110010Q that you referenced aren't able to make that type of choice if that makes sense. They basically decide from different power sources which to allow through to the panel. Now the panel is what makes choice to charge the battery or not. Most are going to begin charging the battery when shore power is connected to it and then obviously not do so when unplugged.

Hey Corey! A modified sine wave inverter would not be the best option for your setup. The laptop would probably be the least likely to have problems since it will have its own charger/adapter that converts back to DC. The electronics on your…
