[CTSARA] Caumsett Park (reverse charged AA cell)

On the reverse AA- yeah, I had one a few years back.  

A remote control device used a power pack of 6x AAA cells wired in series.
Battery died much faster than it should have, so I took the pack apart and
tested each battery- all were fine except one which was completely polarity
reversed (but putting out a healthy voltage nonetheless).  I suspect it was
a weak cell that got reverse-charged by the others...

Folks-

Here is the park that is SSE of the Cove area. It is location on the North
Side of Long Island, near the Huntington area.  It's about a 2 hour drive...

On another note, has anyone every experienced a AA battery reversing
polarity?!?
