Did I Kill It?

Did I kill my BEP marine battery monitor by accidently hooking the battery wrong way round?

A clue: see if it works.

Did the magic smoke come out? That's a definite clue.

Shhhhhhh it's an industry secret that electronics are powered by smoke, which is why when you let the smoke out they stop working.

Tried it the right way round and it didnt turn on. No smoke or funny smell. Oh i wish its just a connection problem!

Have you looked on BEP's website to see if your model is one of those they show connection diagrams for?
Most stuff has polarity protection.

Havent changed any of the wiring. Has always worked well until now. I will check out the BEP website thanks.
