Good call.
Wouldn't that make the wire the only resistance in the circuit, allowing full current to pass through it?
(aka direct short to ground)
That would last as long as it takes for the wire to melt.
I've seen a battery melt a hole though a dented hood with people sitting on it. Big fountain of sparks.
Crispy crunchy wires isa no good.
