You need to look for an open circuit or a large voltage drop in the circuit, both in the power and ground sides. Cable connections and fuses/circilt breakers and battery cut-off switch would be likely suspects.

Do you know what caused the battery to explode? Overcharging? A huge dead short somewhere on the heavy gauge battery cables might cause it. ????? If that is the case you might of fried something.

Typical setup will have your batteries tied to a fuse/circuit breaker - then to a battery disconnect device - then to your converter/DC distribution panel - which in turn feeds your varous DC devices. Follow the trail - check to insure fuses/breakers are functioning, your battery disconnect is operating correctly, your converter isn't fried, etc. - check for continuity between each connecting piece of the puzzle.
