It is going to get dark on your guys pretty quick. You need to have the working battery and a way to keep it charged.
Like stated above it could be you now have both the Battery and the Converter fried.

These items should keep you going until you can get a converter/charger on order from AMAZON or local RV PLACE if you are close to one and they have one in stock.
Take a good luck at the block diagram I just sent - Note most of your essential items are mostly 12VDC powered and you may not have 12VDC to use now with both the converter and the battery failed.
Like I said it may get dark on you pretty soon and all you will have is flashlights and candles if you brought along any hehe...
