Sounds like the converter is not charging as you indicated but it may be the batteries are so discharged with a bad cell or shorted and the converter cannot keep up. I would remove the batteries and put a volt meter directly to the battery cables and get a reading. If you are seeing 13.8-14 + volts it is the batteries not the converter. Good luck.
