Worse than that, I've had total electrical system failure on the road
due to a faulty aftermarket positive battery cable.  Having your car die
in the middle of 65MPH freeway traffic is no fun, and quite
embarrassing.  Jiggling the cable got me back on the road.  This
happened a few times before I replaced the cable.  When I cut the old
one apart, the reason for failure was clear: corrosion in the connection
between the clamp and the wire strands.
