There might be another reason for what you're seeing - Just guessing
Over the years I've had many dozens of them apart - most showed issues with voltage regulation under a load - all had the resister network issue we discussed and the small cap defective, many had the large front end caps defective - Just guessing here yours might be in the same boat - Just guessing......
How old is your converter?
Can you get it to give you full current at the specified voltage?
Try loading the battery with an inverter and some 100wat bulbs or similar
Like you I have LEDS the only way for me to draw lots of current is the compressed air system or the inverter with bogus loads like 100watt bulbs, which are no loner available
