And then apply various levels of "extra high", "super high", "extremely
high" adjectives beyond that! 650 V from a third rail would give you
very nasty burns and probably kill you. And 25 kV from overhead line
train electrification, or 11, 33, 275 or 400 kV from pylon wires, would
probably set you alight as well.


A 9 V battery has the capability to kill if well enough connected to
you.

"It's volts that jolts, mils that kills"

"mils" being short for milliampere.
