I don't mean to interrupt the flow or anything, but I do wish to correct your post.
as little as 6 milliamps can kill, and there is 1 amp in 100 milliamps.
That means as little as 0.06 amps is enough to kill a human being.

under normal conditions of course, your skin will protect you. But people have been known to die of small battery shocks. (and about 18 people die every year from "licking" 9 volt batteries")

I'm beginning to think your GCSE in Electronics is non existant. On another note, I left school with only 2 A-C grades......... Both in Science. I know what I'm on about.

I'm beginning to think Cole was right ;)

oh and licking the strike part of old matchboxes

on the plus side i left school with the equivalent of 4 A-levels went on to do weapon technology for HM the queen and i am now an engineer for an international tooling company so i guess my electronics ref batteries could be a bit rusty oh and ive never heard of anyone being killed by a PP3 (thought that one would make front page of the Daily sport ;) :D ;D) but that said doesnt mean iam calling you out just never heard it is all ;) ;D ;D ;D

funny old world this  ;) ;) ;)

Jolteon dont want to sound like iam picking on you specifically but never seen your tank builds work in progress or anything for that matter (which usually helps people that dont now each other build a picture of the other persons skills and attitude)
not saying you dont have the skills perish the thought but it's normal ettiquette on the forums to show your stuff and others will decide for themselves whether they think you are up to it or not
dont really need to be told so  :o ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

or as the old saying goes "The proof is in the pudding" ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
