Plenty of people talking about voltage vs amperage, but they’re missing one great factor: time. You can die from relatively low voltage if you get it for a longer period of time, but tasers just can’t do that.

To get a high voltage from tiny batteries, you have to charge condensators and it takes quite some time. That’s why small batteries are possible, you just need time beforehand to draw power out of them to get it ready for a larger burst that doesn’t last very long.
