Just curious, are you able to measure the current draw and the voltage at the same time? it seems odd that you'd be pulling so little current at 7.3V. Like I said before, I'd expect the voltage to dive if the converter was damaged, other than that I would agree it sounds like a faulty converter.
Worst case, you could design an elaborate mechanism to trail an extension cord to your robot
