Sure you can charge a battery backwards but it will at once, be considerably less efficient. When a battery is charged and discharged the spongy lead and other material on the plates expands and contracts. The deeper the cycle the greater the change. Deep cycles shorten battery life because the active material on the plates sheads off faster due to the increased expantion-contraction. This reduces plate size and capacity. In a reverse charge, this change will be even greater than in full discharge. Deep cycle batteries are built useing material on the plates to minumize the effects of expantion-contraction
