If the battery is damaged replace it. There is no way to repair that damage.
yes u rtard
It shows reverse readings
Discharging it to 0V (ie. absolutely empty). And not battery, but "cell" (even a small AA or AAA battery is consider a "cell" - think Duracell).Batteries are usually made up of individual cells (like car batteries, RC batteries etc.), and even if not all of them are discharged completely, if even just one cell reverses polarity, it will do irreversible damage to the battery.
REVERSE POLARITY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BATTERY AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY. A VEHICLE'S BATTERY MAY BURST UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. I would try it. I couldn't tell you for sure, I never had this happened to me. But I would be interested in the out come. Let us know if you decide to change it. And if it works.
If there is any charge left in the battery, connecting it the wrong way should blow the fuse in the charger before any damage is done.Motors, heaters and lamps will not be affected.Electronics, such as radios, cds, and engine management systems however, do not like reverse polarity and will blow the semiconductors inside, if reverse connected.Most properly designed and constructed car electronics, have protection on their power supply lines, to stop devastating destruction caused by reverse polarity. This is usually a reverse connected diode across the power input lines.Connected properly, the diode does not conduct and has no effect. Conncted in reverse and the diode will conduct, putting a short across the line and hopefully blowing a fuse to protect it. (crowbar protection).So, you may get away with it. But it is not advised.
it depends of what accessories or electronic devices that switched the battery terminals. for ex. starter motor it will reverse the circulation if you reverse the polarity
No. Reversing the polarity does not damage the speaker. The only issue in connecting it backwards in a stereo setup is the speaker cones will not be moving in sync with each other, so stereo imaging and bass response will suffer.
Reverse polarity means connecting a power source, or polarised componenet, with the positive and negative poles the wrong way round. If the positive and negative supply is connected the wrong way round in electronic devices, it usually causes damage, because semiconductors are sensitive to polarity. Sometimes protection is provided, so that reverse polarity stops the device from working without causing damage. Connecting a diode (or rectifier) in reverse, will block the flow of current, without causing damage and is useful in protecting circuits from reverse polarity. In some consumer electronics (especially CB Radios) the power input has a recitifier across the 12v supply. If it is wired correctly, the rectifier is in reverse polarity, does not conduct and allows the radio to work. If you reverse the polarity of the power supply, the rectifier is now in full conduction, across the supply, causing a dead short. This shunts any power away from the radio and blows the fuse in the line, thus protecting it.
no, but it will damage the battery.
Yes it will damage your battery if you reverse the cables. There is an article on Wikipedia about it at this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_battery.
You change polarity which can very possibly damage all electrical components.
A long low charge is best for the battery. A fast high charge can lead to battery damage/explosion. Purchase a small battery charger and follow directions.
