   I'm pretty sure Inverters take in DC (direct current aka from solar)   
   and turn it into AC (alternating current) for use with household   
   appliances etc.  I don't think it has anything to do with battery type?   
      
   DC= the cigarette lighter plug in older cars.  Your car won't have an   
   AC plug but youur RV probably does.  Today's cars also are apt to have   
   USB chargers.
