To reverse it would require some effort as your effectively changing the anode tank to a cathode tank and vice versa. This is dictated by what charge is floating in the tank - the thing connecting the 2 tanks (lead strip?) loops the circuit.
To put this into a real world application - imagine changing ice cream into water and water into ice cream. Not impossible - but not likely.
I imagine it was around the wrong way to start......or......
what he was seeing was the LOSS across the battery. e.g. -12v means the battery is consuming 12v of the source (meter or capacitor?) across it. Which means is fucked.......and effective a big bit of carbon.
I am assuming it was a lead acid battery? What was the exact voltage he measured?
Did he try hooking up the battery back to front and seeing if it started the bike?
I would be surprised if someone hooks up a new battery, finds the bike doesn't start then doesn't instantly assume the battery is a problem
