Hi All -
I have used the search button, searched our host's site, used the google machine extensively and now asking for the collective brilliance of this board.
I am looking for a 24V DC input to 230/240V AC output. I would prefer it be PSW, No charger as I have that covered and hopefully available in the US but I am willing to ship one in.
If a quality brand inverter charger will support this I am willing to look at it, but I will still need my 120 AC to work.
My use case is 208V AC mini split AC and Heat system in an RV situation, I have an existing system 24v and large lithium battery bank ( 15kwh ) any thoughts would be appreciated.

You are looking for a 24 VDC input and an output of 120/240 VAC @ 60 Hz split phase inverter (I think).
These are the two I could find on our host's webstore:
https://www.solar-electric.com/residential/inverters/off-grid-inverters.html?nav_inv_input_voltage=437&nav_inv_output_voltage=425
You possibly could use a 120 VAC inverter and an auto transformer to create the other L2 120 VAC split phase leg (L1 to L2 @ 240 VAC). Both units below have manuals on how to wire them.

Another possibility would be an auto transformer to stepdown a 230 VAC inverter to create the neutral leg:

Having a charger doesn't require you to use it. I suspect most 120/240 inverters would also be chargers. I've yet to use that feature on my Magnum 4024 (though it's just the 120 out version)Home system 4000 watt (Evergreen) array standing, with 2 Midnite Classic Lites, Midnite E-panel, Magnum MS4024, Prosine 1800(now backup) and Exeltech 1100(former backup...lol), 660 ah 24v Forklift battery(now 10 years old). Off grid for 20 years (if I include 8 months on a bicycle).
