Your battery is obviously significantly drawn down, perhaps to the point where it's damaged and would need to be replaced. Normally you'd only want to draw it down to ~ 50% or ~ 12 volts ... fully charged it would be ~ 12.7 volts. When you plug the trailer's main service cable into power the converter's output is then being read by that battery monitor, not the battery itself. Just leave it plugged in for a couple of days and see if the battery recovers ... if not, you'll have to replace it.
