Accidentally hooked 1 amp maintenance charger up backwards for
30 minutes. How many problems did I cause? Thanks in advance.

None if the charger is intelligent and most modern ones are.

Probably none. My maintenance chargers will not charge if hooked up backwards.

Do you mean a float charger like the DELTRAN Battery Tender Jr.? As stated most decent units won't work in reverse. You always connect a charging source POSITIVE to POSITIVE and NEGATIVE to NEGATIVE no matter if you use a POS GRN circuit. Did it start after you did that? Yes? Then you did no damage, only a bruised ego.

None if your charger is protected. If not, the charger may be damaged but the tractor systems are fine.
