To me that indicates the battery, not the converter, is the problem. If you would, measure the converter output voltage and the disconnected battery voltage.
Voltage from the converter = 7v
Voltage from the disconnected battery = 12.3v
Should the 12v system still work with the battery disconnected while plugged into shore power?
