Really? I can feel 4 volts between my finger and thumb. Isn't painful or anything, but I can tell when a lipo battery is charged vs. discharged.

You can feel lower voltages if you fingers are injured, or if you... lick them.

As kids (6-9y) we used to test the voltages of 3R12 (4.5v) by touching the poles with tongue, a sharp bites - the battery was good.
