The battery is providing (and/or accepting) 12v power. The converter is providing 12v power.
That is like turning on the hot and cold water taps at the same time, then asking which tap your glass of water came out of.
However, that being said, as a rule of thumb, (enough idioms?) the converter is providing 13.2 or more volts, while the battery is providing only 12.6(ish) volts, so the converter is providing the power. UNTIL the number of amps required exceeds the capacity of the converter, then the battery provides the balance.
