When you hook up a battery charger incorrectly, it can lead to several problems, including sparks, damage to the battery, or even a fire hazard. Connecting the positive terminal of the charger to the negative terminal of the battery (or vice versa) can cause a short circuit, potentially resulting in overheating or battery leakage. In some cases, it may also damage the charger or the battery's internal components. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe charging practices.
