Not on our FIRST batteries but on some other, smaller batteries we have hanging around (approx. 1/8 size in terms of Amp-Hours and volume), one of our team members accidently crossed the leads on the charger and went home for the night.

The next day the battery was REVERSE CHARGED! Really! Black was at a higher potential than red. It was very confusing until we realized what happened (luckily our curcuits are usually automotive type deals that have reverse battery protection).

Anyway, we hooked it up to the charger (red to red, black to black) left it over night again and now it is fine.

I would not recommend that you kids try this at home, but at least in this one case, we got away with it.
