I take that this is a combi unit (Inverter and battery charger) ? That being the case you will be scrapping a perfectly good battery charger - this is the problem with combi's (one breaks, you lose both). Why don't you keep the original one and just use the battery charger, buy a new 2000w inverter (which will be much cheaper than buying a combi). When (if) the battery charger rolls-over you won't lose the inverter.

We all will (hopefully) come March 2019

Its in disguise - it doesn't want to be seen as a 'white charger' going to rescue a damsel in distress.

Yes - Lots.

Are you the new time traveller - Dr Who ?

Not long now and you'll be 'rolling in a surfeit of electrickery'. Roll of drums - Building up Tony - (hope he can deliver !!!!!)

One would 'normally' expect it to be wired as : Live = 12v Positive Neutral = 12v Negative Earth = not used.

I bet they are not still 6d.

We had a 16 amp commercial dish washer, it wired into a 13 amp plug (just) and worked (just) without blowing a single fuse in 8 years of use. It was still working OK when we sold it. I guess that it didn't actually take 16a (despite the plate saying it did), or the fuse have a 'bit of leeway'.
