Absolutely. You never know when you might need an old car battery for torture.
How? Isn't it just 12 V? Genuinely curious, because I never understood this stuff in movies...
I don't know for sure but I think it's the current, higher voltage will bridge a bigger gap/higher resistance but a human body doesn't have that high of a resistance and car batteries are capable of providing plenty of current (I think?)
Yes, but to penetrate the top layer of human skin, you need about 60 V DC, or 30 V AC. A car battery is 12 V DC...
Edit: I got the voltages from an old ElectroBoom video and I just remembered them so I know when to use protection when working with electricity and when it's not needed.
That’s why it’s more likely used for fetish purposes irl, and even the maybe two in series? You’d have to ask the experts, which I’m totally not one of. Not involved in that world at all. Definitely don’t have a monthly budget for that…
I've heard of electric stimulation used for fetish, but none of the manufacturers state how high of a voltage the tools produce (at least I couldn't find any info about this).
The only way a car batteries could hurt you if you clamped two crocodile clamps to your nutsack to prove a point on the internet
