Johnnie, didn’t Sergio post something about using a light bulb to do the same thing? Pretty sure he did, but can’t find it or remember how exactly he said to do it. |

Something to remember is the lower the resistance, the greater the spark and the cold resistance of an incandescent light bulb is only about 5% to 10% of the hot resistance. (Ohm's law will tell you what the hot resistance is and an Ohmmeter will tell you the cold resistance.) |

The filter capacitors typically have bleed resistors on the for safety reasons (a capacitor can hold a charge for weeks or more), but you'll have several seconds before the voltage on the capacitors is bled down enough to cause much of a spark. I use clip leads to attach the resistor leads to the terminal and cable end and move the clip lead on the battery terminal out of the way as I'm landing the cable. |
