The danger is the spark that occurs when the final connection is made. Batteries can accumulate hydrogen gas. A spark occurring near the battery (like at the negative post), can ignite the hydrogen and make the battery go BOOM.... or so I've heard.

I've seen it happen...eye-witness. It's nasty.
Think of it as an acid-filled hand grenade made especially for you.

You want the last connection to made far away from a battery, so that any sparks do not set off any hydrogen gas that may have out gassed from the battery,

My brother in law has a 2004 Acura RL and when he pushes the throttle the engine or somewhere there makes a clicking noise, it only happens when the gas is being pushed and no other time. ALso, when accelerating really fast, it doesnt make that clicking noise.
any ideas what it could be?

Sounds like an exhaust manifold leak.

Did you find that they are more and more chinese on-line shops around us selling electronic products? product prices on these shops are only half of those on exclusive shops, and all goods are free shipping.you know what,an Map Lamp is only $9.99, i was just thinking that the courier fee for shipping it from china to USA should be more than $9.99..how could something like this happening?? is it a mare's nest? Has anyone bought stuff at these sites? Give me some suggestions please

I don't know what a "mare's nest" is, but usually these type of things are imported in containers and resold on the American market by local distributors. Even so, the prices being dirt cheap are an indicator of how cheap manufacturing is in China, and why we can't compete. Sounds kind of like Japan used to be, right? I have found though that most of these things aren't of any quality and are usually not worth much more than you pay, if even that.

Don't forget today is the internet times.Traditional imports and exports are not adaptive.A lot of online shops from china can supply goods for us easily,such as Sinamalls.com,I found it through Google,Lots of cheap made in China electronics and gadgets, including many unique items not easily found on retail shelves here in the United States, but at actual cheap made in China prices.
