Battery installed backwards

So yeah I was that guy.
I went out and bought a lithium battery to change the original in my CSC TT 250.
After work I proceeded to do the change and as I was fastening the "negative" side on the new battery I saw a bright red flash coming from the fuse box. After that I realized that the new battery had the poles reversed in position compared to the original, the new had color caps but I removed them earlier when I unboxed it.
So after being so dumb I changed the fuse with the spare one and connected the battery right. Bike turned on fine and the battery seems to crank fine.
So I have a couple of questions:
  • Should I check something else on the bike related to the electrical system,? Today I will be checking the rectifier output.
  • Will a lithium battery be damaged for that short?
  • Is there rectifier upgrade in case I need to change mine?
Thanks!
