The strange case of the reversing polarity yacht battery
Closed Captions (CC):
hello ever they're good-looking P Alan
the auto electrician done the
electrician Alan made a bit of a
appeal tell them tell him what you did
just in case anybody else ever gets this
problem apparently Alan had connected up
the solar panels the wrong way around
and what that's done that's that battery
gets to a certain reversible owns the
horse and they'll recharge it the wrong
way but we take the battery off now yeah
take it home but yes connect it to a
battery charge it the right way no what
you all you do is just shot the Buster
across no piece of wire now and shot the
bastard crossing all you'll go back to
where it should be the bus he won't know
which way is this assumed they would
connect it up wrong that the buses gone
flat and they were still connected then
the Buster's good night somewhere along
the lines and this you meanie Cocteau is
that what you mean I don't
I never made mistake oh now this battery
positive is negative and negative it's
positive that's getting complicated all
of them so you've no way you're charging
backup if you put the charger on it will
blow so we've looked on the internet and
the best way is to connect a light bulb
up to it and just leave it for days if
it has to be absolutely discharged and
then shy recharging it the right way
around so we're gonna do that in the
last part of this is going to be showing
you if it does work
further just reduce Buster its reversed
itself positive is negative negative is
positive
I'll put white on it and I put a file on
it now as you can see the funds
connected some won't work unless he's
actually connected wrong way around so
the funds on the negative red one and
the black one so we'll see how it goes
as it dies down
