It was showing 8 volts immediately after it happened and around 10 when I got home so I’m hopeful. I’ve made up an insulator to go between them now so it shouldn’t happen again.

Slightly silly design really, if they’d made it possible to turn the battery through 180 degrees it just couldn’t happen.
