No, 12V is not enough to shock you (unless your hands are wet with salt water or you have open bleeding wounds already).

Shocked by battery?

It's possible if it's the battery from an electric car with high output, but most vehicles have a 12 volt battery and that won't shock you. HOWEVER, a car battery WILL melt jewelry if you touch both sides of the battery to a ring, necklace or other metallic piece of jewelry. Many people have been seriously burned that way.


Why do you have to connect a battery charger cable to the vehicle chassis when charging the vehicles battery while connected on the vehicle...why not connect to both posts instead?

If you disconnect without turning off the charger, the sparks caused may ignite the hydrogen discharged from the battery while charging.
