Exactly what I was thinking too. Maybe we have misunderstood.
Gunbir, if the positive terminal of the loose battery, somehow touched the chassis, it would result in flames and heat, at the point where maximum current was flowing i.e. the battery terminal itself and the part of the chassis that was touching it.
If the battery directly touched the chassis, then the resultant current flowing through the positive wire of the amplifier would be nil. Why would it heat up?
However, this is possible if the positive wire of the amplifier somehow touched the chassis. Is that what happened?
