if you scoll up and read my last post thats what i was doing im keeping all the ones that are >8v hooking up all the mid voltages, and tossing all the <3Vs ones

how do electrocutions happen? Its usually always an accident, so with that said accidently poking your fingers with leads is possible and deadly. You can still do it, i was just giving you a heads up.

I believe the point that was trying to be made is that 9v will not be enough to overcome the resistance of a body and pass a lethal amount of current. It would probably take over 100v if the electrodes are lightly touched with dry fingers to pass enough current to do any harm. The resistance of my skin from fingertip to fingertip is about 8Mohms when touched with perhaps a couple pounds of force. If this resistance where to stay constant (which it wouldn't, especially if the voltage where high enough to punch through the layers of skin), it would take a huge voltage to pass even 30ma.
But, no matter what science tells us, you should always treat anything over some tens of volts as if it was tens of kv. However, all these batteries in series would definitely be able to kill ya anyway, so keep that in mind.
I also think putting these batteries in series is a bad idea. Acid is unforgiving, as are flames and metal fragments flying through the air. The likeliness of the batteries exploding is surely very high, so i would suggest either finding something to make with them using only one and making a bunch of them, or you could always parallel
