Hypothetically, could you use an electric eel to start a car with a dead battery?

Might need a marine biologist and auto mechanic for this one ...lol

No, an electric eel cannot start a car because it can't provide a constant, uninterrupted energy supply like a battery. Each electric pulse from an eel lasts only a couple thousandths of a second and delivers less than 1 amp. An electric eel's charge is depleted after a strong shock, and its electric organ takes time to recharge.

@ABCDEF7 works more like a capacitor than a battery.
