Charles,
Concentrate on the reason why your generator drained the battery. Fix that and do as the others say - discharge the battery completely, on a small load, and try charging again the right polarity. If it is dead, there will be nothing to do but put it down to experience and go get another.
Most battery chargers have a fuse which will blow immediately a battery is reverse connected. If it hasn"t blown the fuse it was because of the extraordinary level of exhaustion of your battery, but worth checking out - perhaps the battery is still OK?. I have never reverse charged a battery myself ......ecxcept when those little PP3 nickel cadmiums were a tad expensive - it was very unforgiving!
I always claim "I"m always right and it"s the other nine billion who are wrong", but I know that if I had never made any mistakes I would not have learned anything. You will not make that mistake again, like there are quite a few things I remember from experience...thats life!
Regards, RAB
