Uhh, not really.
As little as 50 milliamps (.05 amps) can do the job.
Don't disdain the voltage either. It's the pressure that pushes the
amperage, and a 9 volt battery CAN provide enough voltage AND current
to be lethal under the right circumstances.

Yup, not enough available current (by design) to kill.

Yup, they do.
A charged cap is analogous to a battery .
Holds voltage AND amperage.

When in doubt hit the throttle. It may not help but it sure ends the
suspense. (Gaz, r.moto)
