I did not give you a specific voltage to look for to see if the convertor is working because: Most have 3 modes, 13.2, 13.6, 14.5. Also, you may not get those exact readings depending on your battery's state of charge. All you really need to know at this point is if the convertor is charging at any voltage or not.
BTW, A fully charged battery that has been allowed to stabilize after charging generally will show 12.8 volts. 13.0 can show if the reading is taken soon after charging. AGMs may be higher, but you probably don't have those.
I will be not able to work on trailer next 3 days.
IAnd agree all I need to know now is if the converter works
But the post obove got my attention also
"shorted power wire, emergency break away switch contacts together, fridge defrost heater."
I did not see the post to lest the battery stabilize after charging , so probably lower .
More info - the conductors (battery cables ) were blackened around the terminal crimp and up at the strands a way, and the cables seemed stiff ?
so i cut off the terminal and about an inch or so of the battery to converter cables . I will start monday with new terminals, and do the converter check..
