I would say that converter should be replaced...
How many people come here that have run their rig on shore power with the switch in 'store' - finding it didn't charge their batteries?
Other than not charging batteries - there is no warning about not be able to run in that mode.
If the converter can't handle that condition - it should be replaced.
