Yes. Exactly. Bet there was a big arc when connecting. I would like to have an ammeter on it. How did it not drain the battery when the negative terminal was connected? I thought the outer part was grounded, so would be direct short.

Two trucks came with the terminals nearly burned off from the seat bottom. I've used 8D 1400 cca in about 6 trucks. I cut out the hold down loops. Then I use 1/4" wood under them. The old thick bottom wood then is used as side and end spacers. I use wood on top then, to keep the seat...

The inner stab is the positive, but use a continuity tester to confirm it. The arcing you hear may be a loose or corroded connection, does not have to be a short. With dampness, the painted surfaces that are supposed to be non-conductive, become conductive over short distances. Clean the...

I've seen evidence of arcing and corrosion at a few close contact areas in the truck and the jumper. ONe place had only 1/8" and any wetness could flow a low current. Now I clean all terminals and use black silicone to make sure I have at least 1/2" from conductor to conductor, especially in...
