The HCH II does not have a traditional alternator, instead it is a belt start alternator. If you did any damage, the IMA system would already have shown a fault or would not start.

Did you connect positive to postive or postive to negative?

Attach the cables in the following order:

1.

Attach one end of one cable to the dead battery's positive terminal.
2.

Attach the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal of the battery in the starting vehicle.
3.

Attach one end of the other cable to the negative terminal of the battery in the starting vehicle.
4.

Attach the other end of that cable to the engine block of the car with the dead battery. Look for unpainted metal surfaces and be sure it will clear anything moving when the car starts. Do not attach the negative cable to the dead battery itself.

Stand back from the hood areas of the cars. Do not smoke while you're doing this. Safety goggles are always a good idea.
#

Start the car that's providing the jump start.
#

Wait about five minutes, and then try to start the car with the dead battery. If it does not start, stop trying and wait a few minutes longer. Try again for no more than thirty seconds. If the car still doesn't start, chances are that it's not going to. Time to call a tow truck.
#

Remove the cable connections in the reverse order that you put them on. That means that the first disconnection is from the block, and the last is from the positive terminal of the car that has just been started.
