Any chance you were able to reverse charge (polarity) on the battery?

Happened once when my in-law put a charger on my dead car battery =
backwards. I did not know it could be done=20

So, with which battery did you measure -9.97 volts?

No, we attempted to put the battery in the car after it had been =
connected to a charger for some period. The negative terminal sparked =
so we did not. We put it back on the floor where we checked it with the =
multi meter. =20
=20
We also double checked that we had the ground cable to the engine and =
the positive cable to the electrical system. =20

This battery was apparently in the car. Did you check this battery =

Did you test directly at the battery terminals?
=20
It is possible to charge a dead battery in the wrong polarity. If the =
battery was complete dead and someone hooked up the charger with the =
polarity reversed (ie: positive charger lead to the NEG battery terminal =
and vice-versa) it will charge up in the wrong polarity. I've seen it =
done.
=20
Many of the smart chargers will not do this. Many will not charge a =
dead battery, but some will and the old style chargers don't care.
=20
Connecting a battery to a car in the reverse polarity will cause all =
manner of problems. It is not recommended.

On many modes they can be reversed.

We bought a car a few months ago (an 88 jeep actually). Wasn=E2=80=99t =
running or driving, needed some work, battery was dead.
=20
Today we finally got it running and driving using a known good battery =
from another car.
=20
Set the jeep=E2=80=99s battery up on a charger a day or two ago and =
decided to try it in the jeep after all we succeeded in getting it =
running and driving.
=20
Hooked up the positive first, then touching the negative caused a =
spark!!!!
=20
Double checked that we had the ground to the engine and the positive to =
the electrical system.
=20
The multimeter, with the red on the positive terminal and the black on =
the negative, read -9.97
=20
Reversed it and got 9.97.
=20
Checked the good battery =E2=80=93 no, the multimeter is not broken.
=20
Checked the jeep=E2=80=99s old battery again, same results. Good =
battery =E2=80=93 same results (about 12.97)
=20
What is going on???? how is this possible? Yes, we are replacing the =
battery but if someone had told me this story I would have told him he =
must have mixed up the terminals, that its not possible.
=20
Can anyone explain this to me?
=20
And yes, we are replacing the battery
