Default Re: Battery in wrong

Whether positive or negative ground, you still want to connect a charger so that positive is to the positive terminal on the battery. Usually a charger has positive on a red connector. Hopefully, your smart charger has a 6-volt setting. Some don't. If do you revert back to a positive ground system, you will need to re-polarize the generator. Assuming you have a generator and not an alternator. If your prior owner has converted it to a negative ground alternator, then you'd better leave the polarity where it is. The starter motor will run the correct direction whether it is positive or negative ground. It seemingly defies logic, but that is the way it is. If it were mine, I would just leave it regardless.
