Why is a 12-volt household batteryharmless, but the shock from a 12-volt car battery will kill you?

Answer»

The shock from a car battery will not kill you. In fact, under normal conditions, a 12-volt car battery will usually not even shock you. Car batteries are not harmless, though. There are many ways you can be injured by car batteries:

The shock from a car battery will not harm you. Public Domain Image, source: Christopher S.
