However daft you may think you are it probably doesn't come close to this sheer idiocy. Have close look at this, this battery weighs just under a ton, and contains over 100kg of electrolyte (acid). Batteries give off a highly explosive gas when charging and discharging. If you 'cross' the terminals with a metal object it short circuits, complete with big sparks and intense heat. This metal knife was found like this, actually in contact with one terminal beneath it's protective shroud.
