Connecting a battery backwards takes some effort as the terminal are different.

If u do, the computer systems may not be too happy resulting in a LARGE repair bill.

If u try to start it more trouble is at hand since the starter won't engage and if it does it will run backwards.

The generator diode will also not be happy and may turn very black.

More than likely you have corrosion at the terminals. Clean the battery terminals and then recharge the battery and see what happens.


What happens in a battery's negative terminal when it is not part of a circuit?

When a battery's negative terminal is not connected to a circuit, it accumulates excess electrons, creating a negative charge. This creates a potential difference between the positive and negative terminals, which is the driving force for the flow of electric current when the battery is connected to a circuit.

What will happen if one battery terminal is connected to a terminal?

Nothing. An auto battery system is 12V DC. If both terminals aren't in the loop (positive through the current path and back to negative) nothing happens.


What happens if the battery terminals touch each other?

If the battery terminals touch each other, it can cause a short circuit. This can lead to overheating, damage to the battery, and potentially a fire or explosion. It is important to always keep the battery terminals separate to prevent this from happening.

What happens to the current in a circuit if a volt battery is removed and is replaced by a 3 volt battery?

The battery cannot be removed quickly! Inductance of the wiring stores energy and keeps the current flowing and decaying smoothly. There will be an opposite polarity, higher voltage pulse on the battery terminals, limited by the circuit capacitance only.


What happens if two lots of 12dc volts are applied?

It depends how they are connected. If the terminals of two 12 volt batteries batteries are connected to the same circuit (in parallel) then there is no change in the flow of current- it will just last for twice as long a time. But if two opposing terminals of the batteries are connected to each other first and the free terminals then connected to the circuit (in series) then there would be a total voltage of 24 volts and twice as much current would flow. The two batteries would last for the same length of time as one battery on its own.

What happens when you connect the car positive and negative battery terminals together Will this reset car computers?

If you connect the terminals together with them unhooked from the battery and the engine off, yes that is also called a capacitive discharge.If you connect the terminals together with them unhooked from the battery and the engine off, yes that is also called a capacitive discharge.


What happens when you connect batteries in parallel?

When you connect batteries in parallel, the positive terminals are connected together and the negative terminals are connected together. This increases the total capacity of the batteries, allowing them to provide more power for a longer period of time.
