BQ24250: Reverse polarity protection

Part Number: BQ24250

Hi,

Connecting battery in reverse order will damage BQ24250, is there any method to protect the IC? First time the battery will be installed in a controlled environment, Later the battery needs to be replaced by the customer in the field and can be connected in reverse. Is there a way to protect the IC?

This document is useful when the battery is non-rechargable http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slva139/slva139.pdf
