Default Clansman 24V Rechargeable Battery Warning

Last weekend I modified a previously working PRC351 for 10m operation. Upon reasssembly it didn't work. I have since dismantled it for investigation and when I measuring the supply I had 26V but the polarity was reversed. The battery was one of the more modern plastic cased ones, I am hoping I have not damaged the PRC351. I assume that this fault in manufacturing is a one off but I will check carefully with any other batteries I buy.

I had a plastic cased one with no foam filling so manufacturing errors do happen.
