Nothing half wakes you up than a 12v shock of a terminal in the car :D

Was stripping out wireing for a new light switch controller and well a screwdriver got caught up with my fingers and some wires and Zappp!

Saying I didnt get any sleep at all last night and im running on semi-caffine ermm it woke me up rather nicely :D

Its the amps that kill.

tbh Ive only ever had a shock from a ciggaret lighter in a car.... and I do everything but stick the cables in my mouth :o

oftern wondered why sometimes it shocks, and others not :dunno:

I guessed it could be something to do with the distance between the 2 points of contact on your skin for the +ve and -ve, but then theres plenty of times ive had big hefty cables in the same hand.

anyone know ?

the resistance is really high on your body.. just dont sweat cos that reduces it massivly and will allow you to be shocked easily

the resistance of your body is usually pretty high, as a rule of thumb 12v wont usually shock you...

u *usually* need 28v + to get a shock, but having wet hands or something will reduce the resistance of your body a lot.

aha.

I have never been belted by a battery befor.
Even licking your fingers and touching both terminals dont do anythin.

I always get shocked by the ht leads though, and the rev counter feed.
