    quote jcrigan:

    Sometimes jumper cables look good but will not carry the current to the load. Internal corrosion i guess.

    They typically go to crap where the wire is crimped to the clamp, and the clamps themselves are often of marginal quality even when new. Add the effects of corrosion and old, weak springs, and you’ve got something that looks like a pair of cables but might as well be air.

    But a dead battery won’t work with the best of them..
