"it's not the volts that kills you, it's the amp" the amps was apparently high on this one. |

Re: Brazil - Man Dies from Electric Shock when Charging Mobile Phone in His Car
There is a phrase in electronics, "It's the mills that kills"; "Mills" referring to milliamperes of current. However, you do need some voltage to push the current. I am highly doubtful that the car's 12 volts, or else the charger's output of 5 volts would be sufficient to clamp the muscles of the guys body as shown in the video. It didn't help that he was standing in water, perhaps some sort of ground loop to an AC source was really the culprit.

Looks like he earthed something. I reckon that the puddle he is standing in, with bare feet, had something to do with it.  |

Re: Brazil - Man Dies from Electric Shock when Charging Mobile Phone in His Car
I could be wrong, but is that some sort of vacuüm cleaner on the drivers Seat? And running from down the screen towards the rearwheel an Extention-Cord?  Could be have been cleaning his car since everything is opened  Might have spilled some water on the wrong spot, or have a faulty wire running trough the puddle under his car |

Re: Brazil - Man Dies from Electric Shock when Charging Mobile Phone in His Car
It’s the amps that kill for sure. Car batteries range from 400-800 cold cranking amps (CCA) in most passenger vehicles. With his feet in water he is grounded, with faulty wiring in car, battery could cause these results.
