About 1/2 hour later, the voltage at the converter with it still turned off is down to 12.4 volts with just some lights on, which would indicate it's discharged to about 80 percent. It's looking like the battery isn't holding a charge. Electrolyte level is fine and I check it periodically. We never dry camp so the battery never gets discharged much. We only have one group 24 INTERSTATE battery.
Wait-- 12.2 VDC is a 50% discharged wet cell battery WITH THE BATTERY AT REST. You have a pretty small battery and read 12.4 VDC with a load on it.
Could the battery be bad-- sure. But, do not conclude that from the information above.
Fully charge it and then load test it.
