Forget the converter, as the issue is identifying pos & neg batt cables.
Heres a new idea,.......that I think will work
Set battery on the ground, connect jumper cables to battery,....connect negative jumper to trailer frame/ground.
Touch positive jumper to each battery cable in question, BUT ONLY W/ A 20-30 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER IN SERIES WITH THE POS JUMPER !!
Any battery cable that trips the CB, is a negative cable
Any cable that doesn't trip the CB, is a positive cable
The cost of this method is the price of a CB at the auto parts
