[QUOTE="Tom.G, post: 6845083, member: 581973"] There used to be chargers that would tell you almost instantly if you connected a battery backwards. The rectifier was a few metal plates coated with Selenium, a high current would of course overheat the rectifier. The aroma was rather strong and reminiscent of rotten eggs... not something you would soon forget.
