    Full bridge inverter with charger

    I made an inverter using the full bridge mosfet configuration which worked perfectly. I used transformer 7v-220v for the inverter with a 12v battery, which is a common practice with a pure sine wave inverter. Now, I want to add a charging circuit, in the sense that, the same transformer that is...
