Is there any downside to using a power inverter to charge a samsung 36 volt 600 wh battery in a van ?
The inverter has a max 1A output. The charger has 2A output.

There are inverters that provide enough power.

Have you tried any of these?

Does your van battery have enough capacity, or will you run it down?

Does your charger require a pure sine wave input? Does your inverter put out a pure sine wave?

The chargers we use with our Specialized bikes require a pure sign wave input, but the small inverter in our camper van does not put out a pure sign wave. For this reason we use a Goal Zero Yeti 1500W power supply to charge our bikes. We then recharge the Yeti from the van inverter. The van has a 1900W Li battery and itself gets recharged by two 190W solar panels. Here's a pic from a recent camping trip:

No, I have the 1A inverter for a stereo speaker, but I have not tried it, or any other inverter to charge the battery. Thanks. I'll look into the BESTEK. The van has two batteries.
