In order to save the life of the battery and the electronics devices as well, it is usually wise to use a reverse battery protection circuit after the battery or before the internal circuitry of any electronics device. A reverse battery protection circuit can also be incorporated in the supply input of the circuit of a device too.
When you install the battery correctly, the current-limiting resistor in the base lead forward-biases the base-emitter junction. A backward-installed battery reverse-biases the transistor, and no current can flow.
The effects of a reversed battery are critical. Unfortunately, it is difficult to guard against this situation. To make equipment resistant to batteries installed backward, you must design either a mechanical block to the reverse installation or an electrical safeguard that prevents ill effects when the reverse installation occurs.
The reverse polarity can also affect the battery and the reverse connection may explode the battery or it may be possible that after connecting to a circuit in reverse polarity, the battery may no longer hold the charge.
Testing to meet the harshest of these conditions, when applied to circuits providing reverse-battery protection, is undertaken using pulses defined by ISO7637-2: Pulse 1 represents the case of supply disconnection while powering an inductive load, where the rectifier is subjected to a high negative voltage pulse.
So diode should be connected so that the cathode of the diode is connected at the load circuit and the battery connector is attached to the anode of the diode. The 1N4007 diode can be used for the reverse battery protection. The 1N4007 diode has a voltage drop of around 0.7 V and maximum forward current of 1A.

Reverse Current/Battery Protection Circuits
In Figure 1, the diode becomes forward biased and the load''s normal operating current flows through the diode. When the battery is installed backwards, the diode reverse–biases and no current flows. This approach is used for any battery type, from single-cell alkaline to multiple Li-Ion, but it has two major disadvantages.

Avalanche Breakdown: this is not a sharp graph, but rather an inclined linear graph, in which a small increase in reverse voltage causes more sharp current gradually after the breakdown.
