Lots of amps in a car battery, but only painful if the voltage is jacked up.

Huh?

Think of the sparks made by connecting battery cables when jump-starting a car and then imagine one battery cable attached to one's toe and the other one approaching one's penis and tell me what's not going to be painful.

Go out to your car, grab both terminals on the battery.

Nothing will happen.

(assuming it's not a 48 volt hybrid) Start the car, grab a plug wire, pull the boot off a spark plug. Most cars hit the plugs with at least 25000 volts. You're going to get nailed. Hurts a bit.
