Consequences of connecting wrong terminals on car' battery?

The battery of my car was almost dead and i tried to charge it with a jump cable(by connecting it to other car's battery).But by mistake i connected wrong terminals on batteries which heated up jump cable giving a spark and some fumes.

Then,i changed terminals but now battery is not getting any charge even after 5 minutes.I want to know what consequences could be there of connecting wrong terminals when charging?and when i try to start it with self it gives a sound in engine but doesnt start.

Any help?Consequences of connecting wrong terminals on car' battery?Burn up the computer and radio.

At the very least, you probably fried the battery. That's no big deal because it was already shot anyway, right? Your Engine control module might be blown, too. That's big bucks! Good luck.
Now the other stuff listed is true but also is a bunch of bull.

before you go and pay all that money and have to set in a room for hours, just go find your self another set of cables and try it agian. ; )
