what is the purpose of using the resistor across the leads to test?
Don't know, I would not be able to do that test. Don't have one of those resistors. Usually, all you do is put the voltmeter to the converter output right at the converter to see if you get anything at all for DC voltage. Should be about 13.7v
That would be after you already know you are not getting anything at the battery while it is connected.
check 120v input--circuit breaker, or receptacle live ? (watch for any GFCI receptacle problem.
there are fuses between converter and battery--battery fuse on positive wire close to the battery--if there is DC at the converter but not at the battery, check that fuse.
The converter may have a pair of 30a DC fuses for 'reverse polarity' blown. if you wired up your new batteries backwards (it happens) then it would have blown those.
