Is there an inverter that can invert and charge at the same time over the same cables?

No. Power cannot flow along the battery cables both ways at the same time. In other words, inverting and charging cannot happen simultaneously over the same cables. If you need simultaneous inverting and charging, you could either use a separate inverter and battery charger or an inverter/charger that does both over separate terminals. Either option requires two sets of battery cables; one set between the inverter and batteries and a second set between the battery charger and batteries.
