Question about Cars & Trucks
A lead acid will not charge with the polarity reversed
What happens is that in dead shorts and can destroy the battery
it can blow up the battery , blow the charger fuses and destroy the charger
Depending on the damage to the battery cell plates it may be recoverable

start checking fuses hopefully its just another blown fuse if your lucky
but if all the fuses are good, you probably fried something like the computer or ignition module and probably the radio
hopefully its something simple and cheep but don't be surprised if you have to shell out some cash to replace the computer

SOURCE: Charging problem.. Wont charge battery
The instructions for installing a new alternator usually read to fully charge the battery (12.3 - 12.8 volt range). Otherwise, the alternator will be damaged when it initializes. I have seen some extreme damage result from installing a new alternator with a low-charge battery. The torque required to turn an alternator when damaged in this scenario is unbelieveable!
