  You can actually reverse charge a lead acid.  However, there are certain

stipulations that must be adhered to for this to happen.  Minor things
like a 
specially configured power supply, a lot of time, a bit of water, you have
to 
know what you're doing, and lack of a brain.  All at the same time.

  The more likely reason is he switched the red and black leads (it's easy
to 
get them wrong, they're only colour-coded) when connecting back into his
car.

  Then the retards who didn't believe him at first, tested the battery 
themselves (and ****ed that up) before apologising.

  They're all in good company it appears.

  But the most likely reason is (as you said) didn't happen in the first 
place. He's skipping his meds again.
