The current that caused the Leatherman to spot weld didn't come from the
battery, because it was disconnected. It most likely came from a
stiffening cap or somesuch in the supply leads to an amp, and any
combination of battery connections wouldn't have prevented it.

current from one terminal of a battery. Certainly would require some
upgrading of all the single pole switches in our cars!
