Dear Austin, Charging a battery from the square wave electrical output of an inverter will definitely be bad for both the battery charger and the battery of your laptop. The harmonics will heat up electronic components and lead to shorter device life.
To keep your laptop and its battery and battery charger safe, you might have to use expensive harmonics filters. Better way is to charge from the grid or invest in a sine wave UPS.
