Does the charge controller manage the charge on the battery WHILE a load is on the battery?

I assume I can wire in my inverter to draw power off the battery at the same time my solar panels are hooked through the charge controller to the battery charging it.

Sorry but I just want to understand what I'm doing before I start hooking up wires.

Thanks for an education

Yes the charge controller manages the charge on the battery regardless if there is load or not. When the load exceeds what the solar panels and charge controller can deliver the batteries are on a discharge cycle. If the load is less than what the panels are generating then the batteries are charging.
