Quick hand warmer.
And warmer!
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.
Reminds me of this.
It's a suicide cord. Works great for generators
Just remember to cut it when you dispose the battery, so that sea turtles won't get stuck in it.
Perfectly. Legal. Thrill.
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)
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.
Is 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.
Hmm. Giving it away a bit here. He cringes well before it discharges.
Oh he new it was gonna be spicy
Ooo a budget space heater
I was going to say, automatic heating on the handle. Nice features!
It was the last thing they made
With that hand, anyway.
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.
You just gotta use long screws to firmly connect it to the battery, or else it slips off.
Took me a min to realize...

Why does it smell like BBQ in here?
that's a killer gadget!
Users are calling it a shockingly good invention.
👀
For anyone wondering beyond the meme, they make these clamp handles that hold batteries pretty well for moving them around.
So...do you connect it to the contacts of the battery? I see a flaw in this design..
I realize this might be a joke, but you can never tell these days
