I think the handle’s a little short

The maker is probably not aware of the current battery sizes

While making such devices, one should be grounded to reality to avoid making such mistakes

We don’t know. There is no banana for scale.

The three types of circuit:
- short circuit
- long circuit
- banana circuit

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)
- Darkassassin07 ( @Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca ) English7•8 months ago
You 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.

Say you made this, but insulated… does a car battery have enough structural strength in the terminals, though? I imagine you’re left holding a handle with two terminals and half a cell stuck to each.

I work in an auto parts warehouse:
Yeah, they’d be fine. It’s surprisingly difficult to break them apart. The load would spread out to almost the full width of the battery on either end (ie the plates attached to the terminals against the underside of the lid). Some of the models I ship use plastic straps that hook onto the seam between the lid and base and you can really toss em around before they take damage. (some people are less than gentle with parts :/ but I’m not the manager so 🤷)
Some of the larger batteries with screw terminals might not survive, but the ones where these clamp style are used would be fine.

So…do you connect it to the contacts of the battery? I see a flaw in this design…
