I am guessing that the battery was connected backwards At a minimum it blew the two reverse-polarity protection fuses in the power panel. At worst it could have messed up some systems, including the converter. You won't know until you get the polarity correct on the connections and replace the two 40A fuses. Then you can troubleshoot to see what else might have been messed up.

Keep us posted. I hope it will turn out well for you.
