I once made a deadplug, I was kinda distracted and ended up with a cable with two male plugs. Hangs on my shop wall as memento for "focus on what you're doing" or something.

Yes yes fun fun. In real life, I have some pretty huge batteries and there is a handle on each but the handle is a non-conductive rope.

Considering that a 12V battery has an internal resistance of 20 milliohms, the potential current through this thing would be approximately 600A.
It might be too hot to handle (pun intended)
44 0 ReplyYou can also get that from just the label. The CCA rating (cold cranking amps) is the max current that specific battery can supply in short bursts. 600 CCA is pretty typical, but I've seen up to 900 in the batteries I ship.
6 0 ReplyIs it really 600 amps? That seems rather high. I do know that the one time I shocked myself on a car battery, it rocked my world much more than getting shocked by a 110v outlet.
3 0 ReplyV = IR Assuming 12.6V 12.6 = I* 0.02 I = 630
So yeah, it could hit 600A, if only until it got hot enough to melt something or change the chemistry
6 0 ReplyMy guess is you were burned more than shocked.
5 0 ReplyWait you can get shocked on a car battery??? I thought 12V was too low for you to feel.

Just remember to cut it when you dispose the battery, so that sea turtles won't get stuck in it.

2 0 ReplyIt can melt plastic does that count?
2 0 ReplyPlastic isn't a conductor, so the current wouldn't travel between the posts across the handle.
