I would try an AA 1.5 volt over the 400 amp car battery.

Even an A/C wall socket will shake you loose but a D/C Car battery is not something I would do with a FAULTY meter.

I don't really understand this statement. An AC line voltage wall socket has the potential to kill you.

A 12v DC car battery? You can grab the leads with your bare hands standing in a puddle of water, and nothing will happen.

If you're talking about high voltage EV or hybrid batteries, or the ignition coil output, that's a different story.
