Electricution by car battery?

[Mesetef]

Basically the title. I got those long cables and a running car, don't care if the car doesn't work after I'm done. I just want it to be fast and don't care about anything else. It can be painful, as long as its fast, I do not care. You got any ways for me? I can hold the cables from inside the car as well btw.

your car battery can't actually electrocute you. In fact, under normal conditions, a 12-volt car battery will usually not even shock you.

Isn't it amps that kill, either way it likely won't work in this scenario. I have seen people in countries where they travel on top of trains and he stood up and touch the lines above, instant death.

Electric current is dangerous and can be deadly but it's not straightforward in any case. Read about executions on the electric chair and how smooth and painless and fast they are. There they use much higher voltage (and amps).

I don't recommend trying it with electric current, this is a terrible way to die.

more likely to give you a severe burn

No, that's not likely at all, 12 - 14 V is a too low voltage.

Not sure if you are sarcastic but electric chair executions can last a long time and be extremely painful, many cases where it was botched

It's really volts that kill, you can have high currents but low voltage and you'll survive in some scenarios. But really it's high volts that kill.

Sorry if it sounded sarcastic. I wanted to say that this is a terrible way to die, which I neither support nor recommend.

(Bc OP wanted to try it with a 12V car battery)

Ah I see, got you

I work in electricity and while i can say "both" with the gif meme we all know... because both in high quantity will fry either way (and bot exist at the same time in electricity because they are the two component of said electricity)...
It's amp that kills from a domestic point of view. That's why you have 30mA differential protection on your circuit breakers at home.

You can't achieve a high amperage through yourself with a low voltage, because you're a bad conductor. Lethal current requires a high voltage.
