Can a bad converter cause a bad battery?
The converter supply of energy to the battery is determined by the amount being drawn from the 12-volt DC system. Bad battery: A bad battery could draw power from other good batteries and make all of them fail.
Can a 12 volt power converter run without a battery?
Lastly, check the batteries a properly working converter should run the entire 12 volt system even without a battery (though it’s not recommended due to the tendency of converters to let transient AC voltage through, the battery acts like a “filter”).
Why is my power converter not working properly?
Thanks for viewing the RV Distribution Center Troubleshooting video and posting the question regarding your low 12-volt power issue. Your husband is probably right, the batteries are not getting charged properly which could be due to the converter, low voltage coming from the campground, and even weak batteries that will not accept a charge?

If your RV converter not charging batteries when plugged into shore power you need to take a close look at the contact posts of your RV batteries. Sometimes a buildup of greenish or white corrosion can get to a point where the batteries can’t receive a charge or receive a minimal charge.
