Bad mistake- plugged charger into lift instead of battery, now dead

Hi- Ok, any ideas on what might need repaired? I have checked all fuses and they seem to be fine. There is one small fuse on the panel that says "main" it will blow when the key is turned on. Certainly I'm not the only person in the world to do this, therfore I'm hoping the fix might be common- thanks

IFIXIT, you are the man. Got a replacement DC/DC converter off ebay and put it in and she powers up again! Thank you so much for your advice!

It is a 36 volt, so there is a dc to dc converter on there that blows?

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
