<font size=3>Turns out, that biological (living) has a fairly high
internal resistance at initial voltage application, but it drops rapidly
(resistance does) as current flows, such that the longer the current
flows the lower the internal resistance, thus the more current flows for
a given voltage. How do I know? My graduate work involved
live laboratory animals, and we had to know these things for our
research. At one point I was rewiring my mentor's laboratory
apparatus, in when we used capacitive discharge timers. I unplugged
everything and was getting shocked frequently late one night. I
finally even unplugged the radio and wall clock...I learned about
capacitive discharge from that!! lol (but not at the time!)<br><br>

<dd>Actually very true. But picture someone trying to save weight
and combining two 6s packs to one connector and accidently “touching”
something in the process. That will pull a 200amps peak @
50Venough to get crispy. <br><br>

<dd>Biggest problem with raising the voltage is that 40v is generally
considered the max non lethal voltage. You'll be hard
pressed to get a voltage increase for general safety reasons. <br><br>
<dd>I'm sure that's why the current limitation is in the general
guidelines in the first place. <br>
