petrol and diesel do they mix?
Any 12 volt car battery voltage is not high enough to shock you. It's just like touching the typical battery around your house even though the car battery is much bigger. However, the new 42 volt car battery systems now being introduced will be another story, so be wary then. The shock you might actually feel if any would be a static electricity discharge during the dry air winter months. Of course the high voltage ignition system output can give you a good shock when the cars running, so don't grab those wires unless you've got a football helmet on to protect your head when pull back abruptly and it hits the hood.Anybody know how to reset 2003 BMW X5 oil change reminder gauge?
What is very dangerous are battery explosions from excess battery charging gases collecting above the battery and being ignited when you create any sort of spark around the battery, like connecting or disconnecting the cables, or jump starting the car. Always wear safety glasses in those cases and try to make the final jumper cable connection to the engine, away from the battery.
Does my 1991 Ford Taurus have a short circuit?
Another danger around batteries is the tremendous heat generated by a short circuit between the positive and negative terminals. Mechanics and technicians really shouldn't wear rings or metal bands on their hands and fingers because if the metal ring or band were to complete a direct connection between the battery terminals, you could easily burn a finger off or be severely burned. So the high available current (not voltage) is a danger from a car battery.
My Windstar2000 van starts sometimes and then nothing at all...?
You would have to touch the positive side as well, which would then create a "bridge" for the electricity to flow across.12 volts doesn't shock you if you touched both of them you wouldn't feel anything
how can i do the engine timing without a timing light?
the cable is for the return of electrical charges that are not used - and are neg charged - you are the part of the curcuit now that does not draw supply or need it- like home electrics - no supply is given off the negative wire- touch the positive that gives the charge- LIKE telling the wife you were out with the boys at the nuddy bar - and wait for the charge to light you up - Tell the wife the negative like you were at church and nothing happens ( beyond her calling all your friends to verify that your line - but that is the time bomb charge you will find out about--lol)Very simple. Two things have to occur for you to get shocked.
Where can i found information about turbocharger TB25?
1) your body has to complete an electrical path from the positive battery post to the negative battery post for electricity to flow.
Where can I find a body of 1995Chevrolet Cavalier?
2) the battery has to be able to produce enough current to overcome your bodies natural resistance to complete an electrical path from positive to negative on the battery.
Just touching the negative post won't allow either of the above conditions to occur.
my door locks when lifting outside lever on my 98 toyota tacoma,what can i do to fix?
a person starts to feel a shock of DC electricity at around 60-70 volts.. and AC around 45-50 volts. at least thats when i do.More Questions & Answers ...
