If your battery is doing the shorted cell routine that will load down your converter/charger unit and make it do strange things...
The only two shorted cell batteries I have run across here usually ended up only showing 5-6VDC at the terminals... I guess it does different on which cell or cells are shorted out. Most cases for the shorted cell was boiling out my battery fluids over time and not catching it in time...
Hopefully the on-board converter/charger will be OK but I would get the bad battery out of the circuit right away. You may be flirting with doing more damage to the converter/charger unit trying to make your bad battery good again...
