Hello Captain Mike.
In the event of a short the only limiting factor is the few milliohms of the wire. It internal impedance of the battery is very small.
The resultant current may be many times 200.
I have seen wrenches get eaten. Always remove wristwatch and rings before working.

Well, while I was adding some terminals for a new helm instrumentation project one if the battery interconnect cable lugs touched the post of the battery next to it for under a second. Thought this group would like to see the result:
Not great harm but, it certainly got my attention. Just a reminder to be careful around those batteries.
