Hey
Is it possible to discharge a lead-acid battery, and then charge it up again the wrong way around(poles reversed)?
I'm wondering because i just put a battery into a friends car, his old battery was shot, however, the pole marked plus, was actually minus, and the same for the pole marked minus. I'm guessing this battery is either a production fault, or the above mentioned has happened.
The car was an old corolla, so not a lot of electronics to fry luckily..
I must say that I really don't think it seems likely that a factory made a battery the wrong way round, but you never know.
