Converter or battery?

Yesterday we unplugged Monty from shore power in anticipation of the rain predicted. Today I tried to open the slides w/o shore power and they would not open. I hooked up the electric and they worked.
After unplugging again I checked my Level Up display and it showed low voltage, once again connected it showed 13+.

The Iota converter/charger is located under the bottom step going to the bedroom. With the converter plugged in and lights turned on everything was fine. I unplugged the converter and the lights went dim.

Is there something to check that may prevent the converter from charging the battery? FYI, when I closed the slides, with shore power, the converter fan kicked on. I'm assuming the converter is OK and that I'm missing something simple. Though the battery is only 2 1/2 years old I am taking it in tomorrow for a load test.
