Car shut down. Battery shorted? Terminals smoke on jump

[V10POWR]

Driving 2006 viper along and car just shut down like an EMP hit it.
Got lights to light up once but then noticed terminals on jumpers smoking.
Sound like a short? Anywhere to look in particular?

Thanks so much!

Good job...you may want to consider the Doug Shelby Engineering battery cover replacement for quick access to the battery.
