Head scratcher Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: General Correct Craft Discussion Forum Name: Off Topic Forum Discription: Anything non-Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36657 Printed Date: January-22-2025 at 5:00pm Topic: Head scratcher Posted By: SNobsessed Subject: Head scratcher Date Posted: July-05-2015 at 7:57pm Helped a friend with his Merc outboard today. Turns out the battery was charged backwards!     I didn't think it was possible.   He must have hooked the charger up, reverse polarity, to the completely dead battery. After we put a good battery in, it took off just fine! ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin Replies: Posted By: Orlando76 Date Posted: July-05-2015 at 10:55pm It's possible with a completely dead battery. Most modern "smart" chargers won't allow it but then again most smart chargers won't bring up a truely dead battery. ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM
