The CSA Z462:2024 update introduces comprehensive guidelines and safety-related work practices for batteries and capacitors, recognizing the specific arc flash and shock hazards associated with these components. Here are the key updates and details:
Micro-Energy Division capacitors (XH,CP) contain flammable organic solvents. For your safety, please follow the following prohibitions. WARNING! Do not charge by higher current or higher voltage than specified. Doing so may generate gas inside the capacitor, resulting in swelling, fire, heat generation or bursting.

Hazards and safety Capacitors may retain a charge long after power is removed from a circuit; this charge can cause shocks (sometimes fatal) or damage to connected equipment. For example, even a seemingly innocuous device such as a disposable camera flash unit powered by a 1.5 volt AA battery contains a capacitor which may be charged
Most incidents with lithium batteries happen when the battery''s shell is damaged and the lithium is exposed to air/moisture. As mentioned above, Lithium compounds contained in Li-Ion batteries tend to be more stable, though they can still be corrosive, irritating or toxic, depending on the exact chemistry of your battery. Short circuits and electrical shock can cause injury, blindness,

Hazards for Li-ion batteries can vary with the size and volume of the battery, since the tolerance of a single cell to a set of off-nominal conditions does not translate to a tolerance of the larger battery system to the same conditions. Li-ion batteries are prone to overheating, swelling, electrolyte leakage venting, fires, smoke, and explosions in worst-case
Examples of the variation of these hazards from NFPA 70E include high voltage can be harmless if the available current is sufficiently low; low voltage can be harmful if the available current/power is high; high-voltage capacitor hazards are unique and include severe reflex action, effects on the heart, and tissue damage; and arc

Engineers choose to use a battery or capacitor based on the circuit they''re designing and what they want that item to do. They may even use a combination of batteries and capacitors. The devices are not totally interchangeable, however. Here''s why. Batteries. Batteries come in many different sizes. Some of the tiniest power small devices

I have seen some people building their own railguns by plugging in over 100x 9v batteries to a capacitor bank of of almost 20 or more can sized capacitors that can operate at 450 volts.

Abstract: This article describes methods to identify hazards and assess the risks associated with capacitor stored energy. Building on previous research, we establish practical thresholds for various hazards that are associated with stored capacitor energy, including shock, arc flash, short circuit heating, and acoustic energy release.
If the stored charge is at a sufficient voltage to create a current, then any capacitor can be dangerous. The charge capacity will dictate how long the current is capable of flowing.
However, the stored energy within a capacitor becomes a lurking threat. While electrical capacitors have long been recognized in many trades as a potential electrical hazard, historically the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70E standards for electrical safety did not say much about them.
(You can still get shocked from 12V, but given special circumstances.) The next factor is the capacitor's charge capacity. If the stored charge is at a sufficient voltage to create a current, then any capacitor can be dangerous.
