It was in a thread on a post about someone who seemingly found a homemade electric chair in an abandoned house iirc. The chair was connected to a car battery, and Electro-Balls wanted to show everyone that a car battery didn’t generate enough current to cause pain, let along hurt/kill someone.
Edit: Decided to find it because I wanted to see if I got the story right. I got the story right
