High Voltage batteries can be very dangerous to work with, so this is a non exhaustive document of safer working processes, always be sure you're competent and aware of the risks and how to mitigate them. Anything you undertake, you do so at your own risk.
What is considered high voltage?
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) warns that voltages over 50V pose a shock hazard and for DC, 60V is often cited as the voltage where electrocution becomes possible under worst-case conditions.
