What is flip charge?

Just think about it. It were positive becomes negative and negative becomes positive. And don't tell me it can't happen as I had a least batteries over the years to do it. Fried one computer system because of it in one my cars.

I've never seen a lead acid bat filp charge (reverse charge) on it's own in a piece of eq. :o

I accidently reverse charged a completely dead bat once with a manual adjust variable rate bat charger.
I noticed I had reverse charged it when I connected a load tester. I checked the amps capacity with the load tester as no good. :oops:
I had to completely discharge the bat to zero then when I charged with correct polarity the bat was bad on the load tester. Battery may have been bad already because it was completely dead when I first started charging for a test.
