Not to mention Lithium Batteries. An "A" sized LiSo2 cell can still deliver more than 90 (NINETY) Amps After being short circuited for 15 minutes.
Lithiums can also explode - which is why it take many hours to verity and test the charging and ANTI-charging circuits in some products. Gregg Hi Folks I agree with John W - and a single fire can (and does!) kill and injure FAR more people than a single electric shock. Additionally, a large number of products are SELV and/or battery operated where there is no shock hazard but is often a fire hazard - think of the power available from modern batteries, and especially vehicle batteries.
