Merry Christmas. I hope it's not too cold without furnace running.
Your battery is not capable of running this load at the moment. This is why it drops to 10.6 under load. It is deeply discharged - less than 50% remaining. Could be even less than 40%. When they are getting older, they have problems keeping 12-something volt under load when discharged that deep. But you should still be able to see 13V on the battery terminals because 13V is coming from converter - so I concur with Westend, your converter isn't charging the battery.
