When you have shore power the inverter section of your "combination inverter/converter/charger" is not needed, and should/can be turned OFF.
If/when you are plugged in, AND your inverter is set to OFF, nothing can/will/should use battery power....... (any/all 12VDC power used is/should be supplied by the converter section of your inverter/converter/charger).
Apparently you have your inverter ON when you have the problem of battery depletion while using your 120VAC kettle on shore power??
What happens to your batteries if you heat the kettle, using shore power, while the inverter is turned OFF?
