The Canon NB-5L is rated at 3.7volts. I don't know how you plugged the car charger into the camera, but if you got the 12volts from your charger on your camera ... you fried it. To check the battery, put a voltmeter (multimeter) across 2 terminals of the battery, it should read between 3.5volts to 4.0volts.
