How about some additional data
How old is the conveter?
What is the voltage at the converter AC input / DC output?
Do either vary during the RPM change of the generator, how much?
Have you got a AC clamp on amp meter?
How much current is the Converter taking?
How about a DC clamp on meter - how much are the batteries taking at the different voltages?
Over the years repaired several PD converters most with input side caps defective. Suggest you take it out and open it up look closely at the components - normally a visual inspection quickly shows the problem area.
