I think your converter is bad. You say it was plugged into shore power but the 12 volt system didn't work. It did when you put a charger on the battery. I suggest your battery is okay, you just need a new converter.
Or, if you are lucky, maybe the 110 volt circuit breaker to the converter tripped. Look at that first.

If it was me I would still replace a 2007 battery. You got your money out of that one!

I am with DQDick on replacing the battery, and keep in mind when the isolator switch is off the battery will receive no charge from the converter. You will receive a benefit in being plugged in to shore power while moving the slides in or out, but the battery must be there for the slides to work.
