Much less than a fraction of a second if there is no reverse polarity
protection. I speak from experience as I have done it more than once
to unprotected solid state equipment over the years.

I have seen no comments that there is reverse polarity protection in
a Newton and I would assume there is not.

Cheers,

Darrell
