Just don't forget to take the battery out so it can be safely disposed of in the ocean.
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.
