On the rare occasions that you have to change Voyager batteries, you can insert them in any order, from any side, etc. with no concerns. Of course, be sure to put them in facing the correct way, but I frankly doubt even if you did this wrong if it would do any damage. Voyagers are totally solid. If only all other machines were this reliable.
