try running the batteries flat by leaving a load like alight connected for a couple of days. wire the bilge pump the right way round then recharge the batteries

What is the polarity of rubber?
The polarity or charge of rubber when rubbed with the appropriate material is negative.
If your charging a dc battery and reverse the leads what will happen to the battery A- trickle charge B- drain or discharge C- explode?
Both B and C. DC is polarity specific, by reversing polarity with a charger you are causing current to flow backwards through the battery (internal) this could cause the electrolyte to heat up giving off a gas that expands and could eventually cause the battery to explode or just crack and leak. Most electrolytes in batteries are corrosive.
In a dc circuit polarity refers to the direction of which flow?
In the US, it is common practice in a DC circuit to refer to the polarity for which "positive (+) charge" is flowing. Positive charge (current) will flow out of a voltage supply's positive (+) terminal which means positive charge will flow into the (+) terminal of a circuit load (resistor, etc). This is an arbitrary convention and may be reversed in older or foreign textbooks. In such cases all positive (+) references in the previous description would be replaced by negative, (-) notations.
What happens if you charge a 12 volt battery backwards?
You cannot charge it connected backwards. You will destroy the battery.
