3 FAQs about [Livestock battery short circuit]
What happens if you short circuit a battery?
Short circuiting a battery means excessive current follows an unintended path, due to an abnormal connection with little or no impedance. This condition allows an excessively high current to flow with little resistance. An uncontrolled surge of energy can damage the circuit, and result in overheating, skin burns, fire, and even explosion.
