the 12 volt system should work while connected to AC power without a battery...right or wrong ?
Your converter manual will tell you about that.
providing the AC to DC converter is working as long as i'm plugged into 120 volt AC power shouldn't the 12 volt system always work without a battery
i understand i could lose 12V power if the converter charger fails
how do home converters work that power lights, such as under counter LEDs etc when no battery is present?
Residential LED and halogen lighting operates from transformers or a switched power supply, often regulated.
The simplest, easiest thing for you to do is buy another battery and connect it. If your converter/power supply no longer provides 12 + V, you will have to make a decision on how to accomplish that. There are many 12V (nominal) adjustable power supplies available, should you choose not to charge the battery automatically.
