I was reading the directions for handling the hybrid battery pack by Dorman. They say to use class "0" which is rated to 1000 volts. I'm ok for myself but it is safer to have another person helping because of the weight and the battery's position within the car and I always have great concern for the other person.
I priced a pair of these gloves at Graingers and they want $243. A rubber pair of gloves and an outer second pair in leather to protect the rubber gloves. Is there an alternative to these gloves?
 
 
Be carefull Richard.
I haven't replaced those battery packs.
They are a Bomb waiting to detonate explode.
Take a Lithium button cell battery and smack it with a hammer.
It blows up instant.
Explosion like a M80 Fire cracker.
 
Grumpy, what about those rubber-backed carpete squares to stand on? I'm ignorant when it comes to electrical theory. Wiring a house to code is easy and that's as far as I go.

Is it the type of rubber or the thickness that protects you? What about the handles on pliers and screw drivers? Is the material on my Green screwdriver any different than what's on my Craftsman?

Lithium in water is pretty neat too Brian.
 
BOTH the material and the thickness of that material have a very noticeable effect on electrical resistance as will moisture content and what your placing the mat on top off
plastic handle coatings are a minor protection at best, like buying a bullet resistent vest, its best to purchase the best you can afford then do your damdest to avoid actually testing its true protective level strength
