I have a few questions about this charger from people who have used it. Or maybe the x2 x3 etc models.

So clearly this is an automatic 10a charger/maintainer/repair tool.
So I'm assuming it would pull 120 watts (more of course as conversions aren't perfect so maybe 150w?)
I assume it can be hooked up forever to keep a battery maintained. I assume they're of high quality. Here is what I need to know.
Can the battery be used while its connected? Such as the charger is plugged into shore power and I want to keep my fridge running. Also can I run a load of more than 10 amps? Like say for instance I run a 20 amp load for an hour, will it then recharge the 20 amps? Or will it power 10a of the load and pull 10a from the battery leaving 10a needing to be recharged?
If I were to use it to keep my starting battery maintained from my house battery would it need to be ran from a pure sine wave inverter?
I was pretty sure I had another question or 2 but they escape me at the moment.
Most likely I will be investing soon in a home base property that I'll be powering off of solar. I'll probably be spending a lot of time there setting everything up in the beginning and I'm going to want to make sure I have a way to charge my house battery and starting battery in my vehicle.
Also I'm thinking about how viable it would be to run AC power from the cabin on the property I'm looking at to an old RV that's also on the property and possibly charging its house batteries from AC power from the cabin which would be powered 24/7.
I havent looked at the property yet but I'm thinking of going with one of the 48v all in one systems AND an additional MPPT charge controller both connected to a 48v lifepo4 bank with heaps and heaps of solar.
Maybe now I can justify the freight charge from santan solar if I buy a few Kwh worth of panels.
