If you disconnect the battery, plug into shore power, and try to open or close the slides using the converter only, they won't work.

Not universally true. Several times I've operated the slide, awning, and tongue jack using only the on board WFCO 8955 converter for source power. Works just fine. :B

I imagine on some units the slides will work without a battery when on shore power. However the more prudent design is for them to operate on 12 volt battery power.
Shore power may not always be available but a charged battery should always be available.
A non-issue as I've also powered the slide, awning, and tongue jack by simply powering the trailer from the truck which is
always "available". ;)
