A reverse connected battery will lift the source of MP1 above its gate, which is connected to the charger’s positive terminal. The drain of MP1 then, in turn, delivers current to the base of Q1 through R1. Q1 then shunts the gate of MN1 to ground, preventing the charge current from flowing in MN1.
However, transistors MP1 and Q1 now provide a detection circuit that disables MN1 if the battery is reversed. A reverse connected battery will lift the source of MP1 above its gate, which is connected to the charger’s positive terminal. The drain of MP1 then, in turn, delivers current to the base of Q1 through R1.
The reverse battery protection circuit also saves the electronics circuit by any back current from the battery. A reverse battery protection circuit can be built using a diode, MOSFET or BJT. In this tutorial, reverse battery protection circuit from each of these components will be designed and tested for power efficiency with different loads.
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.
Reverse current is where the load attempts to force current back into the power supply source. Such instances can occur when the power supply source is suddenly reduced or completely lost, and the load supply bypass capacitors or batteries attempt to force current back into the power source when first connected.
Reverse current can also occur when the load tries to force voltage back into the main supply bus, such as back-EMF from an inductive circuit or a failed battery charging circuit. To enable reverse current protection, a comparator is placed across the MOSFET to monitor the direction of the current, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1.

What happens if I change the polarity of the battery?
When the capacitor is first charged, it has received $frac{1}{2}C(+V)^2$ joules of energy from the battery.. By reversing the battery, you create a potential difference which causes current to flow in the opposite direction, which will at first discharge the capacitor, until the voltage across it returns to zero. At that point the capacitor stores no energy at all.

Circuit Idea/How to Reverse Current Direction
In circuitry, especially in the area of microelectronics (e.g., inside op-amps), sometimes we need to invert the direction of a current (to make the flowing in current a flowing out one and v.v. - the flowing out current a flowing in one) without changing its magnitude. In this way, the output current just follows, "copies" the input one but this copy is inverted, "mirror" one.
