Default Jump leads -- a cautionary tale

or are you going to suggest that any resistance applied to a battery

A shorted jump lead is a very small step away from a solid copper bar
across the terminals, but it would appear your jump leads must have
safety resistors of a few Giga Ohms so they will always be
unconditionally safe.

If you wish to ban all conducting materials no matter what their
resistance on the grounds they might be dangerous when applied across
the terminals of a lead acid battery then go ahead, i'm sure the
******s in Brussels would love to take up your cause.
