Converter when AC Power is available should be supplying DC System power demands ....and charging battery
If battery is going bad then converter is having to do double duty vs just DC System Demands.
(Once battery is fully charged it should not be discharging with converter in service)
SO need to measure battery voltage and each cell specific gravity.
Replace bad/damaged battery
THEN check converter DC Output.
With battery disconnected and just converter on (no DC loads) the converter output should be 13.2VDC ......if lower then converter is failing
