No, unless the battery is connected to a large inductive load. That will generate a high back-emf when its current is interrupted; high enough to give a nasty jolt but unlikely
How do I use resistance wires(nichrome) without causing short
The heating-up phase is the most dangerous on your battery, so you probably want to figure out this resistance @ low temperature and design your circuit so that the current is below your battery''s maximum current (you can figure out what series resistor you''d need to do this, OR you could use a switch-mode power supply to bring the voltage level low enough that the current

How to Fix Burnt Electrical Wires | 10 Easy Steps (2025)
Once the wire is exposed, check for any discoloration or damage. You can proceed with the repair if the wire looks healthy and is not discolored or brittle. If the wire does show signs of damage, it would be best to replace it entirely. Step 5. Splice the Wires. If the wire is still in good condition, the next step is to splice the wires together.

repairing should be safe (given that you put it off the grid while doing it), but take care of the wire gauge you are using and most importantly, investigate to understand what happened, if you just repair without knowing
Had my bike for over a year, what caused my phase
This caused a high resistance connection, thus generating a lot of heat. I would ditch that crap and add bullet connectors to all the wires. Make sure you cut the damaged wire a bit further along, where the pvc isn''t damaged, or at least add
Will I burn the wire if I charge a capacitor directly?
No, it will not burn the wires even if the source has infinite current capacity. The energy stored in a capacitor (if the same as shown in fig.) is so small that it will charge and discharge almost instantly.

6 FAQs about [Will high power batteries burn out the wires ]
Why does a copper wire burn out during a current overload?
Another possibility is that the wire to clamp connection point had a weak spot and that small area burned out during the current overload. The small increase in resistance (with high temperature) of a thick copper wire is insignificant in this situation. Even molten copper would pass a lot of current.
What happens if a wire carries too much current?
If a wire carried too much current it would obviously get hot, and that heat would eventually melt insulation, but even then, the copper (or whatever it is) should be able to carry charge just as well as before, shouldn't it?
What happens if a wire nut overheats?
Excessive current does not cause the wire to melt (not in practice), it causes it to crystallize. Typically what happens in a home is - a connection at the duplex outlet (sometimes in a wire nut) fails and overheats, the insulation becomes brittle, and the wire itself gets an oxidized (green or black) coating.
Does a 'charge' cause a wire to melt?
Perhaps there are no electricians willing to field this question. Wire doesn't carry a 'charge' it carries current. Excessive current does not cause the wire to melt (not in practice), it causes it to crystallize.
What happens if voltage is too high?
Too high a voltage tends to cause a catastrophic breakdown of a transistor. Once you apply over-voltage stress and the transistor breaks down, the pin will show short circuit (usually to ground). If you catch it, or limit the fault current some how, this type of failure will not be visible outside of the IC.
What happens if insulator voltage is too high?
When the voltage across an insulator gets too high, it is possible that the insulator will stop insulating and will instead start letting some current through. This current flow can cause damage. If voltages are high enough, dielectric breakdown can result in arcing, which can cause heating, pitting, etc.
