What happens with wrong polarity?

Posted by RAR/IA on June 04, 2004 at 17:27:59 from (207.28.65.241):

Anyone have any experience with installing a battery, but with the wrong polarity. It should have been positive ground. Will the starter still work? Will it start and run? What happens to the generator or regulator? Lights won't know the difference, of course. Alternators probably will not like it. Curious what would happen.
Thanks for your experiences.
