that won't work as the clamp is shorting out to the other temrinal, surely?

Wonder how hot that gets before the battery goes flat or bang?

I'd imagine it gets very hot (having shorted out a gel battery accidentally). Probably enough to get the clamp to go red.

You can arc weld very sucessfully with 4 car batteries in series and a set of leads!
