Electrician here, when you short out a power source like this the rest of the circuit only sees a drop in voltage, not a spike. So it won't likely harm the rest of the circuit(s) connected to the battery.
My buddy was changing an alternator on his friends car, and the battery was in a place with no access. He decided he would not disconnect the ground, and would "just be real careful." Of course while undoing the hot terminal, he arcs it to the worst possible place. The fuel rail. It burned a hole releasing pressurized fuel which quickly became fire, as fuel often does. He tried blowing it out like a fukn candle but it kept going lol. He was lucky to only have to buy his friend a fuel rail, because it easily could have destroyed the whole car.

yeah we use car batteries for electric fencing for sheep, one of my co-workers picked up the box with battery and everything in it and moved it. when he went to connect the battery there was a spark that ignited the gasses built up inside the box and the top of the battery exploded. (normally when we move it we move the box and the battery separately)
Lmao happened to me in my 65chevy had a hardwire from the battery straight to the ignition lmao burned from theback of thedash all the way to the battery 😂
I had to hotwire my car because I broke my steering lock for some reason. It lit up like this in my lap when I was driving down the road. 😅 had to pull over and kick the wiring apart befor it burned my entire car out.
Remind me of when my teacher was telling the class about testing resistance and some of them were not quit understanding How a wire for say, a starter's wire, can show ~0 Ohms but be defective. I showed them what happen if you attach a wire 0.2mm to the main circuit. They saw this wire was 0 Ohms when testing. I turned on the ignition, saw all the motorcycle's modules were turning on just fine but when i would turn the key to crank it would only activate the starter selenoïd and that small wire would start to glow red hot in seconds. From that point they understood what a big wire breaking apart can look like on the multimeter. A wire or it's loose connection showing near ~0 Ohms can still be the fault in the circuit. Best way to verify is to bypass it to see if the problem persist
In 1991 when I picked up my 1969 Oldsmobile Toronado from the seller in Beverly Hills, I inadvertently left the 1/2" wrench between the battery posts. It got so hot and red. I remember having my gloves on and quickly removing the tool. To this day I treasure this blackened wrench.

Exactly what I came to say. You see a car battery explode once and what happens to anyone the hot acid lands on you'll never smoke or do anything of the sort while charging a car battery.
My dad always told me from since I was a kid to never rest no tools on the battery. I only understood years later working with my friend on his mustang. Glowing wrench🤤
If you use short wrenches or short ratchets that can't bridge the space between the two battery posts it can never happen. Stop using long ass wrenches or long ass ratchets that can bridge the gap. No more worries about accidental slippage and accidental contact ever again.

@hugomartel6651 When I load-test a battery, I use a tester with leads so that I'm not on top of the battery. Usually when a battery explodes, it just blows the plastic plug off of one cell. Not deadly, but you could be blinded. Sounds like a rifle firing.
nah not really, truck is fine even it were on ,would have been a problem if that was a very thick wire battery could overheat and maybe rupture , but electronics would still be fine
@@draileduncommon I don't think the inline fuse has anything to do with it, the inline fuse is used to protect the electronics incase of some overcurrent draw from all the electronics circuits, if your drawing current on only that piece of thin wire, its the only thing that will get damaged

During my apprenticeship to become a Journeyman automotive technician we were doing short circuit diag, one of the instructors was telling us a story about one of his journeyman who was one of them old boys. He said the easiest way to locate a short in a harness instead of cutting the harness open and spending hours trying to find the short they’d pull the fuse out of the fuse panel install a paper clip and have another guy watch for the smoke to start and stop lol they then would open harness check for collateral damage and proceed to do an overlay lol . It’s amazing how quickly an improperly sized conductor lights up and melts when there’s a piss load of amps flying through it
@@jasperriley3923 haha ya I’d definitely not do it that way lol . Crazy what some of the old timers would do. Much easier to hook a headlight bulb in place of the fuse and start dividing the circuit up until the bulb goes out lol but to each their own
Yeah, when a wire lights up in a wiring harness you now have major problems. The wire is like a hot knife in butter shorting and feeding power into things that power doesn't belong. The wiring harness is usually toast and most times is unavailable as a service part. So you got to make your own or get a section from a junkyard. Splicing in a wiring harness can be a nightmare because if you use solderless connectors you'll end up with a football-sized lump in the harness from all the splicing. Offsetting the connections helps. I solder and heat shrink the connections if need be.
@@ElectricBillAlbright yea it’s definitely not a great idea period. It’s obviously not something anyone should do with vehicles now a days. If a wire in a harness has a short you’re already going to have quite the repair regardless cause you dang well know that it’s not the only wire compromised. As for the repair you’re definitely going to have to do a solder repair to mitigate making the harness massive. Doing lots of swaps nowadays I’ve had my fair share of harness splicing jobs. It’s not fun
😂😂😂 when I was in automotive school the guy teaching electrical was talking about short circuits and opens on day 1. Got a battery on the bench and wire harness with a couple components for loads. He asks us what would happen if there was a dead short. The other instructor, who was teaching the second class and just happened to be walking by goes: "what? You mean like this?" As he slams big wrench across the battery posts! 😂
My hobby is car audio, so naturally I end up with scrap circuit boards and batteries and components. Few years ago I would screw around in the garage after work every day, and did a ton of melting wires, blowing up caps, shorting PCBs in unique ways. Just to see what happened. I feel like that was good hands-on experience to truly understand the concepts I had already learned through reading or mentorship. I remember powering up an amplifier board and just dragging several wild strands of wire across it and watching things pop. Or similarly shorting things out and holding them until they melted everything. I was careful not to breath the smoke so much, but I probably lost some brain cells still.
I was a lab technician working for a well know generator set manufacturer. I was assembling a prototype gen set and as I tightened the negative terminal on the battery I was momentarily distracted and the handle of my ratchet wrench hit the positive terminal of the battery. In a flash the ratchet turned red with heat with my hand stuck between the battery and the 1200 degree ratchet. The battery exploded but it saved me from losing my fingers. I now have great respect for the potential energy stored in a battery.
A nice voltage-resistance-current formula works better than any demonstration. You can simply forget what you've seen on YT or not intuitively undestand what was going on. Formulas and theoretical understanding is what actually makes you safe from errors. Cos it you simply know that voltage applied to low resistance (don't necessarilly have to be a short direct wire) means lots of current, and that high current means lots of heat, you would never do anything crazy.
My brother accidentally did that and a shard of the wrench went into his thumb and he couldnt get it out smh shits dangerous , then my boss said one time he was younger and did the same thing and the battery expolded and burned his shirt off so yeah its not something to play around with
@@diamondboy3456i did it with a ratchet 17 years ago back in highscool autotech. I still have the same car. Might have to sell it now. Left leg was amputated last December.
the wire cant handle enough current for anything to happen to the battery, now if you try this with a 8 or 10 gauge wire... yea you might detonate the battery.
@@jackasshomey Just charge the battery for an hour and flick a Bic real close to the battery to see what the problem really will be! The wire isn't the problem. You ever see the Hindenburg? Know how fire crackers go bang? Ever seen a lady finger firecracker? it is the tiniest of all firecrackers. 1/8" in diameter and maybe 1/2' long. You will only want one to go off in your fingers. Now look at the size of that battery! How big a bang you think that thing will make?
@@mikerogers7502 A battery will only EXPLODE if you create a spark near it after it has been charging. Pretty much any time after the car has been running. When batteries charge they put off Hydrogen gas! Think of an EXPLODING Hindenburg! Not just one that caught fire!
@@tbusch63 its a matter of mathematics... the battery physically isn't able to explode because the wire broke... its literally the principle behind how fuses operate... and the hindenburg caught fire cause it was made of flammable material cotton... and you'll notice it burned and didn't detonate because it was pure hydrogen gas not hydrolox...
Not disconnecting the negative first, and reconnecting last, is a safety protocol, I will never forget. A science teacher touching the wrench to the frame, as he was disconnecting the positive. He was directly over it, when the lid blew off and broke his nose, covering him in H2SO4. As I turn on the hose, he kept asking what happened. Imagine explaining the science to a science teacher.
@@Tsimi1234Remember ELLE - Earth Live, Live Earth Earth then live to take off, live then earth to put back on. Earth sometimes sparks (if there’s a little of a drain somewhere or improper earth straps are used) but that’s protocol. Don’t end up with acid burns to your face.
That's why you always disconnect the neg terminal especially when working on 24 volt systems that can melt a wrench in your hands . Always observe safety steps
Idk, one time I shorted battery with 13mm wrench on less than 1 sec and shit heated up so much you couldn't hold it in hand. That was on 24v system, bus mercedes benz citaro. Don't believe hvac can heat it up like that but 2 bus batteries conected in series are real double trouble
When I was a kid I had an old pickup with a side terminal battery. I had tools crammed everywhere on this thing and I’d put the lug nut wrench in the wheel well under the battery. Yep, one day off-roading I bounced the wrench up enough to bridge the terminals and the lead melted the wrench onto the battery. Big smoke from under the hood. Pop started it and drove it home. Old vehicles were kinda incredible that way.
@@DannyPlays96 To be fair a car battery can dump hundred of amps across a decent conductor, so It'll heat up a wrench quite quickly, but not so quickly that'll it'll melt your hand given that you'll probably pretty much instantly break the circuit once the literal sparks fly.
My brother shorted his gold wedding ring across a battery while wrenching on an old Nova back in the day! Gold is a great conductor, it was instantly glowing on his finger and he burned the shit out if his finger and thumb on his other hand trying to rip that glowing ring off!
Went to a vocational high school. A kid that was in the automotive shop shorted out a battery by accident. It blew up in his face and it shattered his eye socket, blinded him in one eye and left him with a six inch gash/scar for the rest of his life. And these simpletons are doing it for fun… smdh
Btw when you do this make sure all your electronics are hooked up and make sure all the fuses are replaced with wire that can handle a lightning strike. If everything is done correctly you should now have a vehicle that doesn’t work 😂

@@zbychu22169normal batteries yes car batteries literally have to be rated to withstand crashes otherwise cars would just explode all the time I've exploded plenty of AA batteries and it's really easy because it's just a metal foil keeping everything together and in place with a car battery the case surrounding it usually won't let it get that damaged from most normal accidents I wouldn't trust a 1000lb lithium battery that's literally the same length and width as the car those seem dangerous and if it explodes there's nothing you can do everyone within 100 feet is immediately dead and probably gonna cause injuries and damage a long while further than that but also idk I'm a 20 year with a GED so yall do what you will😂
I caught my socket on the fender of my Buick while putting in the pos side of the side post battery and it welded to the car and quick. Knocked the ground wire off and quick bc it was about to get funky, lesson learned.
Your an idiot you never lay your tools on a battery even if it's disconnected. The same shit can happen if the positive and negative touch with out it being connected to the truck cause the battery still has power
Jumpstarting works better too when you connect your red cable to the positive of your battery and the opposite end of the red cable to the other cars negative then the black to the remaining connections. Then grab the red cable while attached still and hold a wrench in the sky for 3 seconds. It’ll start right up everytime.
This is why you always have a fuse or 12v breaker on positive wires going from battery to extra accessories & lights you may install. If the insulation wears off a wire or it gets pinched/pulled and contacts metal then you will burn wires in two and may start a fire in your vehicle. 😮
This instructor seems to know what he's doing. I wouldn't go replicating this, though, unless you do, too. It's not difficult for this to go WAY SOUTH VERY QUICKLY. Respect batteries; they can be dangerous otherwise.
I once ACCIDENTALLY connected the 2 together with my wedding ring, it melted my skin, very painful. I have a scar that will never go away. The oddest thing was that my wife vanished 1 week before hand. Was that a message from my father in law that passed away? I'm positive it was.

I like how they shorted a battery that was fully connected in the vehicle.
they had to justify selling them a new ECU
yeah I was wondering what that would do to the electronics but I guess there's fuses protecting them
@zwenkwiel816 I don't know if it would or wouldn't do anything actually but it's definitely not wise.
Fuses don't protect electronics. Fuses protect the circuit wiring. No different than an electrical surge can destroy household electronics which are protected by circuit breakers or fuses.@@zwenkwiel816
Electrician here, when you short out a power source like this the rest of the circuit only sees a drop in voltage, not a spike. So it won't likely harm the rest of the circuit(s) connected to the battery.
My buddy was changing an alternator on his friends car, and the battery was in a place with no access. He decided he would not disconnect the ground, and would "just be real careful." Of course while undoing the hot terminal, he arcs it to the worst possible place. The fuel rail. It burned a hole releasing pressurized fuel which quickly became fire, as fuel often does. He tried blowing it out like a fukn candle but it kept going lol. He was lucky to only have to buy his friend a fuel rail, because it easily could have destroyed the whole car.
😮😮😮
Sounds like your buddy needs to leave it to the pros lol or learn on his on stuff not someone else's lol

Imagine going to pick up your car a little early and seeing a group of mechanics standing around holding pliers to your battery with an arc and smoke everywhere
It is great to teach the power of a 12v battery as well as how wires become fuses with enough amperage. They learned a lot the day.
DO NOT DO THIS. Batteries may vent flammable gasses.
The plastic of the wire is causing the smoke. No battery ever would vent by doing this. Why are always the dumbest people speaking the loudest?? 🙄
DO NOT DO THIS. Don't inhale flammable gasses.
DO THIS just toss the batteries into the ocean and lakes @@sixpest
Can u don't
yeah we use car batteries for electric fencing for sheep, one of my co-workers picked up the box with battery and everything in it and moved it. when he went to connect the battery there was a spark that ignited the gasses built up inside the box and the top of the battery exploded. (normally when we move it we move the box and the battery separately)
When you see your DIY wiring do this, inside a vehicle, you get real serious about fuses afterwards.
Yep had that happen with a temp circuit. Sucks.
Lmao happened to me in my 65chevy had a hardwire from the battery straight to the ignition lmao burned from theback of thedash all the way to the battery 😂
I had to hotwire my car because I broke my steering lock for some reason. It lit up like this in my lap when I was driving down the road. 😅
had to pull over and kick the wiring apart befor it burned my entire car out.
Went to that school and knows the professor, he's super knowledgeable
Remind me of when my teacher was telling the class about testing resistance and some of them were not quit understanding How a wire for say, a starter's wire, can show ~0 Ohms but be defective. I showed them what happen if you attach a wire 0.2mm to the main circuit. They saw this wire was 0 Ohms when testing. I turned on the ignition, saw all the motorcycle's modules were turning on just fine but when i would turn the key to crank it would only activate the starter selenoïd and that small wire would start to glow red hot in seconds. From that point they understood what a big wire breaking apart can look like on the multimeter.
A wire or it's loose connection showing near ~0 Ohms can still be the fault in the circuit. Best way to verify is to bypass it to see if the problem persist
It's always a great idea to have spark or flame near a battery 😂

In 1991 when I picked up my 1969 Oldsmobile Toronado from the seller in Beverly Hills, I inadvertently left the 1/2" wrench between the battery posts. It got so hot and red. I remember having my gloves on and quickly removing the tool. To this day I treasure this blackened wrench.
I did the same on my ranger, damn shock sent me jumping and both ends of my ratchet had a little melt
Haha yeah one time a ratchet input on the battery touched the terminals and wielded a bit. It was crazzy
Better times. Sometimes i wish we could go back.

Exactly what I came to say. You see a car battery explode once and what happens to anyone the hot acid lands on you'll never smoke or do anything of the sort while charging a car battery.
Sometimes I forget that not everyone has accidentally welded with a wrench.
ya , the slackers..
My dad always told me from since I was a kid to never rest no tools on the battery. I only understood years later working with my friend on his mustang. Glowing wrench🤤
Or a ring on your damn finger ! Guilty of that. Hahah
If you use short wrenches or short ratchets that can't bridge the space between the two battery posts it can never happen. Stop using long ass wrenches or long ass ratchets that can bridge the gap. No more worries about accidental slippage and accidental contact ever again.

These guys never saw a battery explode. They will.
I was thinking the same thing. I would never recommend this
@whatthefuk4 Fuckin' A! Depending on how close you are to it, it might be the last thing you ever see! Some people think it is a myth or a joke. Not Funny! I have seen one from 30 feet away! That was enough for me!
lol its a 60amps load when you crank your car its about 5-700Amps of load, it smoke and glow, but its just a 16ga wire
Not with that small gauge wire.
@hugomartel6651 When I load-test a battery, I use a tester with leads so that I'm not on top of the battery. Usually when a battery explodes, it just blows the plastic plug off of one cell. Not deadly, but you could be blinded. Sounds like a rifle firing.
That's crazy they're doing it with the truck hooked up to the battery
My thoughts also but at least it will answer the what would happen if------?
nah not really, truck is fine even it were on ,would have been a problem if that was a very thick wire battery could overheat and maybe rupture , but electronics would still be fine
@@alberta3157 I think u are correct because there should be a inline fuse
@@draileduncommon I don't think the inline fuse has anything to do with it, the inline fuse is used to protect the electronics incase of some overcurrent draw from all the electronics circuits, if your drawing current on only that piece of thin wire, its the only thing that will get damaged

You can get huge ass Edison base types for about 20$ a pop and they are used in theater and stage for live shows where flashpots are not allowed or unsafe. Is there a particular type you're looking for?

Good idea use a 6.0 PowerStroke for destructive testing. It was probably already never going to run again anyway.

During my apprenticeship to become a Journeyman automotive technician we were doing short circuit diag, one of the instructors was telling us a story about one of his journeyman who was one of them old boys. He said the easiest way to locate a short in a harness instead of cutting the harness open and spending hours trying to find the short they’d pull the fuse out of the fuse panel install a paper clip and have another guy watch for the smoke to start and stop lol they then would open harness check for collateral damage and proceed to do an overlay lol .
It’s amazing how quickly an improperly sized conductor lights up and melts when there’s a piss load of amps flying through it
It works but creates more work.👍
@@jasperriley3923 haha ya I’d definitely not do it that way lol . Crazy what some of the old timers would do. Much easier to hook a headlight bulb in place of the fuse and start dividing the circuit up until the bulb goes out lol but to each their own
I have a Honda turn signal buzzer with 2" pieces of with alligator clip soldered to it that takes the worry out as you don't have to watch the light.
Yeah, when a wire lights up in a wiring harness you now have major problems. The wire is like a hot knife in butter shorting and feeding power into things that power doesn't belong. The wiring harness is usually toast and most times is unavailable as a service part. So you got to make your own or get a section from a junkyard. Splicing in a wiring harness can be a nightmare because if you use solderless connectors you'll end up with a football-sized lump in the harness from all the splicing. Offsetting the connections helps. I solder and heat shrink the connections if need be.
@@ElectricBillAlbright yea it’s definitely not a great idea period. It’s obviously not something anyone should do with vehicles now a days. If a wire in a harness has a short you’re already going to have quite the repair regardless cause you dang well know that it’s not the only wire compromised. As for the repair you’re definitely going to have to do a solder repair to mitigate making the harness massive. Doing lots of swaps nowadays I’ve had my fair share of harness splicing jobs. It’s not fun
😂😂😂 when I was in automotive school the guy teaching electrical was talking about short circuits and opens on day 1. Got a battery on the bench and wire harness with a couple components for loads. He asks us what would happen if there was a dead short. The other instructor, who was teaching the second class and just happened to be walking by goes: "what? You mean like this?" As he slams big wrench across the battery posts! 😂
Good instructor 👏👏
My hobby is car audio, so naturally I end up with scrap circuit boards and batteries and components. Few years ago I would screw around in the garage after work every day, and did a ton of melting wires, blowing up caps, shorting PCBs in unique ways. Just to see what happened. I feel like that was good hands-on experience to truly understand the concepts I had already learned through reading or mentorship. I remember powering up an amplifier board and just dragging several wild strands of wire across it and watching things pop. Or similarly shorting things out and holding them until they melted everything. I was careful not to breath the smoke so much, but I probably lost some brain cells still.
Damn dude ngl thats fucking awesome lmao
I was a lab technician working for a well know generator set manufacturer. I was assembling a prototype gen set and as I tightened the negative terminal on the battery I was momentarily distracted and the handle of my ratchet wrench hit the positive terminal of the battery. In a flash the ratchet turned red with heat with my hand stuck between the battery and the 1200 degree ratchet. The battery exploded but it saved me from losing my fingers. I now have great respect for the potential energy stored in a battery.
Woa, quite a tale! 😮
A nice voltage-resistance-current formula works better than any demonstration. You can simply forget what you've seen on YT or not intuitively undestand what was going on. Formulas and theoretical understanding is what actually makes you safe from errors. Cos it you simply know that voltage applied to low resistance (don't necessarilly have to be a short direct wire) means lots of current, and that high current means lots of heat, you would never do anything crazy.
It's the best when you're holding the wrench, and accidentally arc to B(+).
Now let's see that done with a wrench
If i accidentally did touch it with some kind of metal would it damage my batterie?
@@decel4919 It would damage you, not the battery.

Guess they haven't seen a battery blow up.
the wire cant handle enough current for anything to happen to the battery, now if you try this with a 8 or 10 gauge wire... yea you might detonate the battery.
@@jackasshomeyThat's not the only way a battery can explode.
@@jackasshomey Just charge the battery for an hour and flick a Bic real close to the battery to see what the problem really will be! The wire isn't the problem. You ever see the Hindenburg?

@@mikerogers7502 A battery will only EXPLODE if you create a spark near it after it has been charging. Pretty much any time after the car has been running. When batteries charge they put off Hydrogen gas! Think of an EXPLODING Hindenburg! Not just one that caught fire!
@@tbusch63 its a matter of mathematics... the battery physically isn't able to explode because the wire broke... its literally the principle behind how fuses operate... and the hindenburg caught fire cause it was made of flammable material cotton... and you'll notice it burned and didn't detonate because it was pure hydrogen gas not hydrolox...

Not disconnecting the negative first, and reconnecting last, is a safety protocol, I will never forget. A science teacher touching the wrench to the frame, as he was disconnecting the positive. He was directly over it, when the lid blew off and broke his nose, covering him in H2SO4. As I turn on the hose, he kept asking what happened. Imagine explaining the science to a science teacher.

When I was a kid I had an old pickup with a side terminal battery. I had tools crammed everywhere on this thing and I’d put the lug nut wrench in the wheel well under the battery. Yep, one day off-roading I bounced the wrench up enough to bridge the terminals and the lead melted the wrench onto the battery. Big smoke from under the hood. Pop started it and drove it home. Old vehicles were kinda incredible that way.
@@DannyPlays96
To be fair a car battery can dump hundred of amps across a decent conductor, so It'll heat up a wrench quite quickly, but not so quickly that'll it'll melt your hand given that you'll probably pretty much instantly break the circuit once the literal sparks fly.

@scottbarrett3191 They will do it only once. Just like that kid!
Lol it won't blow up, that's barely a short. The wire probably has a resistance in the range of 10 to 100's of milli-Ohms.
That wire would do nothing to a battery that size, kid must of shorted the circuit with something big,

Make sure when you're taking out the battery you lay your wrenches sideways on the battery because it's the perfect tool tray.
Your an idiot you never lay your tools on a battery even if it's disconnected. The same shit can happen if the positive and negative touch with out it being connected to the truck cause the battery still has power
and always store your bettery sideways
Make sure you touch one end of the wrench to the positive and then the other end can literally touch anything metal. Like the engine block.
Arc Flash is not a superhero
Jumpstarting works better too when you connect your red cable to the positive of your battery and the opposite end of the red cable to the other cars negative then the black to the remaining connections. Then grab the red cable while attached still and hold a wrench in the sky for 3 seconds. It’ll start right up everytime.
I’m glad everyone was wearing safety glasses
That mf sounded like a Minecraft TNT
This is why you always have a fuse or 12v breaker on positive wires going from battery to extra accessories & lights you may install.
If the insulation wears off a wire or it gets pinched/pulled and contacts metal then you will burn wires in two and may start a fire in your vehicle. 😮
