Don't think Scotty just pulled this out of his ass. If I had to bet, I'd put it on 'out of his ass.' There will be a current 'spike'. If that could hurt something when discharging I'd expect similar when charging, like when the battery has been disconnected for a while and you re-connect it. I don't know the charge vs. discharge rate of a capacitor, but I'm guessing they're real close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know that scan tools don’t always clear all codes or that a 99 cent resistor could do the job. Nice thing to know for future reference. Utter gibberish. Anyone who takes off the positive cable first has proven himself a fool. Anyone who takes off both cables has proven he doesn't understand electricity. Intelligent rational people don't act like this guy, just walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 LOL, of course I didn't watch the video, so I didn't realize it was that much more retarded. He probably keeps his extension cords looped so the electrons don't fall out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't let the electrons drain, you can get a dangerous voltage spike the next time you use the extension cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Oh damn, come to think of it, I've never seen a regulator in an extension cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
