Help!! Charged battery backward

[Imjms]

I accidentally put battery backward in my SW75w and left it charging for a couple hours.
Now when I charge the battery, the screen doesn't light up and the mod doesn't turn on.

Is my battery broken?
Is my mod broken? (I dont have another battery to try)

howdy - and welcome!

is that a snowwolf 75watt mini mod you were charging it in?

Hi, yes it was.

typically, it is recommended to use an external charger, though i will sometimes charge a battery in a single battery mod... that being said, not sure how having it in backwards to charge may have affected it

what kind of battery is it?
do you have another battery you can test mod with?

It's a Sony VTC4, and no I do not have another battery to try but I will get another one, just wanna make sure the mod will be okay before I order anything.

I'm pretty sure the snow wolf has reverse polarity protection so I'm not sure if would affect anything however I stand to be corrected here.

You could try pulling out the batteries and putting them back in, make sure they are in the correct way and see if the screen lights up. If not, insert the charging cable and see if the mod switches on. If this doesn't work, use a multimeter to measure the voltage of the battery. If the batter is 3.6V and above then it's likely the mod that is the problem (very unlikely tho).

When i plug in the cable without battery in the mod, it lights up and flashes between "Asmodus" and "Snowwolf", not usable tho but it may require a battery.

Yes then it's most likely that a new battery is needed. You could test the battery using a multimeter to see what's happening there.

I do not have any multimeter haha, but I will get a new battery to try it out. Thanks man.
