With a dead battery the lights should work, but the slides and front jack for 5 wheels need a battery.
Not really. They need the wires that go on the battery to be connected as though on the same battery posts, but the battery can be dead.
If no battery is installed, then just use vice grips to hold the wire terminals together and you have your path completed same as though on the posts, so the converter can run the slide and jacks.
I have seen warning signs in Jaycos near the slide IN/OUT switch that you need a battery to run the slides, but I don't believe it if you just connect the wires with vice grips.
