- If you think that reversing the batteries is going to do anything why don't
- you try something a little safer instead that would accomplish the same
- task. Just put a resistor across the terminals. If there is any charge
- there you can let it down slowly. Otherwise, it'll do nothing. I'd
- never feel confortable putting a battery in backwards. That little
- diode may or may not be there but I'd rather be safe than another $250
- poorer.
