Watts or Amperes



Hi al,
I thing there was a discussion some time ago
on that topic but I cannot find any file refering
to this:

Why does it kills you when touching for instance
the electrode of a car battery? (12V & 30-400A)
Is it the high current the can supply or the
power? may be both thing depending on the quantity
of watts or amperes the can supply us when we touch
the battery?

My believe was that our body-cells get burned hence
power was responsible.
