I need to call attention to the Rangel Short follow up down the page.
The lack of response to it (other than Rangel) worries me a bit.

If anyone insists on being big time stupid ---like myself ---at least turn your head / close your eyes. Yes, they are a big deal when they blow. As kids we used to magnatize screwdrivers all the time while arcing over a battery. Just lucky, but after seeing what could happen I feel we should know better. Dave NE IA

Hey Jim, good point I missed it before. When a battery has been active, especially like charging or discharging, explosive hydrogen gas can be present above its cells which a spark can ignite fer sure. The practice of making the last "jumper" connection away from battery is indeed wise. Im probably guilty myself when giving advice on here concerning how to find shorts, I may have told people to remove n scratch the battery connections (especially in the dark) looking for a spark, but I realize thats not real good advice for a rookie.

Taks care n be safe yall

John T
