Depends on the age and condition of the inverter. If it is relatively new and seems to be in good working condition, I would probably just replace the charger. If the Heart is questionable, this would be a good time to consolidate the two functions. Obviously the inverter has a number of years on it (don't know how much usage) or it would be a Xantrex (Heart was bought out by a Canadian holding company in 1998 which rebranded all the inverters to Xantrex). You might benefit from a true sine wave inverter it you power much electronic equipment. However, there would be less wiring changes necessary to just replace the charger/converter.
