Ah but the battery box is designed to take the molded HP battery unit,
which plugged into the back, rotated down and latched into the top (see
<http://www.home.mcmanis.com/hp21-back.jpg> for a picture. Since it would
be "impossible" to connect it backwards its possible the HP engineers
dismissed that possibility and said fine this will never come up.

In reverse shouldn't hurt it, just as if you put AA

they were backwards. Transistorized equipment is polarized to work so my
guess is that it wouldn't hurt it. Charging them backwards might though.
