Shocking!nine whole volts of electricity
Do the batteries actually provide enough juice to shock someone as I was under the impression its under 10v?
well a little test put the connectors on a 9 v battery on your tongueShocking!

Mite just go outside and lick the terminals on my cars battery while I'm at itwell a little test put the connectors on a 9 v battery on your tongue
wow you must have a gene simmons tongue! no way could mine reach across those!Mite just go outside and lick the terminals on my cars battery while I'm at it
I hope that the shocking was only a one off and could possibly been static as rubber grips and metal
Well I get no complaints
I'm guessing its static if anything as any kind of shock to your mate would have damaged the board in the process?

Yeah people have actually died from licking 9 volt batteries, apparently if it hits a nerve it can kill you ...google it.
If you got a shock from the frame though there has to be an exposed wire or trapped wire somewhere. If you can't find it guess you could always wire the frame to the negative on the battery.

Theres no way you would feel a shock off 9V.
And Zorg I dont think anyone ever died from licking a 9V (maybe they died while licking a 9V, but not killed by the battery itself.)
But inventing a story like that may stop a few kids licking batteries. So its a good thing.
Techincally its possible to be killed with a few milliamps of current, but people are resistors to electricity, so it requires a voltage at least in the hundreds before you get current anywhere near your vital organs.
Maybe if you connected 2 razor like prongs on the 9V, and stabbed them into your heart or brain, you would die. But again Id argue its not from the 9V battery....
Incidentally, when you put a 9V battery on your tongue, the tingly feeling you get is not electricity passing through your tongue. Its actually the taste of the salt produced by electrolysis of the salt water on your tongue....
