Battery wiring diagram
I'm not an expert and don't claim to be one but looking at this picture makes me think something is very wrong here. I would love the resident electrical experts opinions

I had too look twice to see if it was a trick. Depending on your goal that could be an excellent set up. First set up a video camera then get quality goggles and a hazmat suit with kevlar. If they get past the molten lead and blinding blue arc as the last connection is made and it did happen to weld in place the ensuing melt down would will make excellent you tube material.
The best I have witnessed was 48 volt 4800 pound fork truck battery 4/0 cables shorting. It's like creating a blue sun and molten copper and lead is blasting out. It's wicked. There are ungodly amps when shorted and they aint taken no for an answer. Something has to give.
That battery set up is more dangerous than bajaing cars and trucks out in a field until they break something then shove a jack or a rock on the accelerator pedal until it blows. I've watched them spin a tire at full throttle until it catches on fire and burns the whole car.
Small engines and things like snowmobiles are a lot of fun to destroy. Securely raise the track off the ground and wire the throttle. They will blow the belts off and destroy the shields and hoods then the engine is no load and scatters it's guts. We fed an old jlo twin cylinder snowmobile engine sheet metal screws and it puked real quick. :) I've had briggs and strattons bolted down running wide open and start feeding it sand. Drain the oil and run it wide open until the rod blows out the side of the crankcase. It was my education in failure analysis. I had an interesting childhood out in the oldmans garage. :)
