No worries, stoutperson, although a healthy respect for anything over 12
volts is wise.

I was in a sporting goods store about umm 20 years ago and spied a 69 volt
battery. It was about 12" long and 2" square. The positive and negative
terminals were on top and unshielded.
Naturally I put my finger across both terminals and said bad words loudly.
