Have to comment- true story. Way back in the 50s, was over at my pal's house, and his Dad was charging up a dead battery in the car. Leaned over it with a lit cigar, and sure enough- KA-BLAM!!! Just like in one of those Three Stooges clips, he had the cigar plastered all over his face. Thankfully he wasn't hurt. It shouldn't have been funny, but when you're a little kid- you can't stop laughing.

Lucky some battery acid didn't get in his eyes.

He was very, very lucky. One day in hs, I went and bought a spark booster that went on the coil connect on the distributor cap.
Supposed to make mileage better, etc. But I installed it, and my engine ran badly. So, I figured it was loose, so I reached down and pushed on it. I thought it was insulated. Nope. In about a half second, I slammed into the grass in our yard, my arm hurt like hell, my two friends only started lol after they realized I wasn't going to have to go to a hospital. FYI, I don't remember how much it is - but a hell of a lot of current? voltage? runs through a coil wire.

Yeah Cal, I don't remember if the battery got destroyed in the process. Al was unhurt- though seriously embarrassed. FWIW, modern coils run around 40,000 volts, I'd be willing to bet back in the day they were at least 20,000.
