Default Charging battery in situ

Mr Purr has invented the situation where you connect a charger with a
short between the output leads to a charged battery, ignoring any
sparks, and waiting patiently until things melt and start a fire.


No I didn't. Damaged insulation can cause a short later. If you think
chargers never have insulation damage you're in your own world. Again.


Right. The leads are in perfect condition when you connect the charger but
magically chafe through while it's in operation.

Any other 'what ifs' you'd care to invent?
