I've worked with lead acid batteries for 38 years and have never heard
of one getting reversed polarity.

I do know that in one connects a battery to a generator however, it will
simply re-polarize and work.

I'm wondering if the battery is somehow mislabeled?



Even though I never heard of a battery having reversed polarity I
Googled and found that if a battery is totally discharged then reverse
charged...the polarity can in fact reverse...
so I learned something.


My feeling is that it's unlikely it was mis-marked at the factory


so I guess I'd discharge the battery , the properly charge it and see if
it wills till hold a charge
