Now if you are saying the current flows from the negative to the positive post outside the battery that is what I was saying. But inside the battery the current has to flow from the positive to the negative under the influence of the chemical reaction.
And it is the same way inside a generator coil. Under the influence of the generating forces the current has to flow from the positive connection to the negative connection or else it could not flow from the negative connection to the positive connection outsidethe generator.
