Hi together, today I had to give a colleague start help. The dumpling connected my plus pole to its battery at “-” and clamped my minus pole to its engine block on mass. That was of course a short circuit has radioed briefly and he then noticed immediately, before the terminal of the starting aid cable really solidly sass… The battery connection cables on its cart were so faded that one could no longer distinguish the red color from the black one. Nevertheless, i But my engine was running very cool and also the charging control didn’t burn afterwards. Does that mean I was lucky? or can something be blown off, which you don’t notice immediately? So no K*cke, I thought to myself: “Vllt. if I rather push it on, then my car is out of play (by the way is my 9/91 Audi 80 type B4, ABT / 90PS), rather sweat a bit.” – but he said that the battery was so empty So, the current from my battery would have to run back through the starter cable to the connection of its battery, then through its mass cable over the engine block and the other starter cable. Maybe there were so much losses in the cables, terminals and the dusty, greasy transitions (both old cars) that the current at the short circuit was not much greater than e.g. at normal starting ? well, if you like I take g comments and opinions. But should just be a little story for the end of the day. Greetings Bruno
