Well she just shined more light on it. Her husband plugged it in to an outlet in the garage that used to be 220, for a welder. Im thinking its still 220, and it fried the inverter.
As long as you are replacing the converter get a quality 3 stage unit.

If you have a portable battery charger get it right on the battery and let it rip. Battery will be shot if left another day at such low voltage.
Then plug into an actual 120 volt outlet and see what works.
A/C probably fine as I presume was off.
Microwave is suspect as parts like the clock never turn off.
Fridge and water heater electric elements should be verified working.
12 volt lights and pump are probably fine.
And it would not be too soon to install permanent protection from over voltage, under voltage, bad polarity, open ground and some surge protection:
