If it's acting up and won't charge or is shorted out you can replace the thing at Harbor Freight a lot cheaper than $200.

I haven't got a clue what you mean when you say that it is acting like the polarity is reversed. You can check the voltage on the charger with a meter which you can buy at an auto parts store for about $10. If your charger is really broken it may be possible to fix it, again go to an auto parts store and ask if they know of a shop that repairs chargers.
