Thank you for sharing this article. I’ve looked through the pictures, and they look awful. Truthfully, I had no idea how dangerous it might be to wear jewelry and do some electronic repairs.

My little sister sent me this https://www.chvker.com/collections/butterfly-jewelry and asked me to get her this jewelry set for her this year for Christmas. Probably I should send her this article, and she will change her mind and come up with another present idea.

Definitely an eye opener, especially for beginners dealing with 280ah batteries like myself, I would never think 12v could hurt me in any way. I do wear my wedding ring while dealing with batteries. Time to buy a silicone one.
