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?

Being sensible just ain't your thing is it.

Very funny. You made that idiocy up. Don't bother.

I tend to base thing on expedience. And by noting what others have said.

And you are the very first who've mentioned the safety hazards of using a
battery charger where there is no fusing at the low volts connectors. And
if you can show me any battery charger that includes this, I'd accept it
might in practice be a possible fault condition that needs allowing for.

It's a very fair description of what you're on about. And not just as
regards battery charger fusing.

OK, I accept fact, logic & sense ain't your deal.
