In an emergency I have hooked up a charger to a dodgy battery reverse
polarity that won't charge until it reaches the normal charging
current
then put it back the right polarity. Can work for lead acid or
especially
gell cells.

It's not going to reverse it's original polarity  - that I find
surprising.

Battery *** change ain't gunna happen, you would boil it to bits first.
