Head positive, tail negative (seriously)

It's pulsed though, not sure how well it would charge a battery

    So, according to the diagram, the butthole of the eel is the positive electrode?

    Or did I miss something here?

    That "did I miss something here?" really instills an image of you standing at a workbench with a live electric eel, various electronics parts, and an IKEA instruction booklet in hand trying to get this thing to charge your phone.
