“Its not the voltage - its the amount of energy actually stored in the cap that is the danger ...”

See post 69... And the same holds for Li Ion batteries... My bike battery probably holds about the same energy as a 1/2 gallon of gas. However, to get it to explode only requires an internal short circuit. That’s why you can’t ship them on planes.

You're not even close. It's not even close to a half CUP of gasoline.
