volts doesnt make that much difference if it doesnt put out any amps.

takes about 7 milli amps to kill someone.

In an electrical circuit, the number of electrons that are moving is
called the amperage or the current, and it is measured in amps. The
"pressure" pushing the electrons along is called the voltage and is
measured in volts. ... 1 amp physically means that 6.24 x 10^18
electrons move through a wire every second, and the voltage is the
amount of pressure behind those electrons.


easy!
