All batteries have two terminals, one positive and one negative, and usually they need to be hooked up right for the equipment to work. Some equipment will be damaged if you hook the battery up the wrong way - reverse polarity.

Equipment that has reverse polarity protection has something in them which makes them able to stand being hooked up wrong w/o being damaged.
