I done messed up a little here...
2 questions at the end
So I got a new battery for the car about a month ago, ran her once then didn’t have time until yesterday... battery was flat
No problem took it inside to charge as I connected the - to the + and the + to the - for about 30 seconds before I realised and swapped em around
Been about 12 hours since and I’ve just checked with a meter and it’s reading -12.84 but when I swap and read the - with the + rod it reads 12.84
Soo yeaaa I can’t afford a new battery right now and from my searching I can drain it and charge it up the right way and it should swap the polarity back right?
1. Can I just put the battery in backwards?
And
2. If I can put it in backwards can I use the lights overnight to drain it
