The battery was probably the wrong voltage.  As a result you may have blown an internal safety fuse or damaged the camera.

I recommend having a camera shop look it over.  Go to a REAL camera shop, not just some place that sells cameras.  They should be able to look it over in about 5 minutes and tell you how best to proceed.
