10A is like, 100x more than enough to kill a man.

According to this

Electrical Safety: The Fatal Current

You're spot on. It says that current between 100 and 200 milliamps (0.1-0.2 amps) are considered lethal. The funny thing is shocks above 200 milliamps are more survivable as your heart receives a larger shock and this larger shock actually protects your heart from stopping.

Years ago I cut a main wire that was live at a Ga Power plant. I was knocked unconscious. I thought I was dead when I came to. Looking back I laugh but it sucked lol

Haha I was just guessing, I remember hearing somewhere that .1 amps is enough to be fatal (like.. in high school?)

considering the resistance of the human body it seems unlikely that anyone is going to get electrocuted by the batteries that we use.you are likely to get burned or injured if you overload them but that is the only risk
True, but more than once people get a tingle from mech mods I have one if your hands are all sweaty you can feel the part touching the bottom of the mod getting a little zap.


Its worth noting, dc is far more dangerous in regards to electrocution. Ac is just that weird tingle dc feels like its burning I got popped with 20v once from hand to shoulder where i grounded out and my arm felt like someone smashed it with a bat then set it on fire they were scared I was going to have a heart attack. Dc will lay you out
