An electric eel can deliver a charge of 860 volts, more than 7 times the voltage of a standard American wall socket.

The amperage is too low to cause serious harm to humans.

Unraveling the Most Powerful Electric Eel

The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) is a fascinating creature found in South America. It is not actually an eel but a knifefish. It can generate electric shocks of up to 860 volts to stun prey and defend itself from predators. It uses its specialized electric organs and can deliver multiple shocks in rapid succession.
