Batteries are batteries no matter where you go. Having plugged in your laptop without the converter damaged the computer itself, not the battery. If it's like what happened to me once, just the screen burned out but the comp still runs fine. If that applies to you, it's an easy fix at any computer store, although it's possible there's more damage than just the screen (the part you're looking at is the screen inverter cable). Just FYI, I've had a laptop repaired for the screen like 3 times, and each time for like a month it would work great but then would mess up again. So, idk if you want to waste with repairs like that since the damage is possibly throughout the motherboard.

Most laptop AC adapters can handle both European and American voltages without a converter. They're built for travel. So I don't think charging it in Germany is the source of your problem. What are the symptoms? There's no clue in your question.

What could have happened is the voltage was different than that of the US and it short circuited the laptop. Try to remove the battery, USBs, and charger from the laptop and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Then try again. If that doesn't work then it could be an internal issue. I would suggest you take it to a local computer repair store to have them look at it. Good luck
