On the other hand, how many people has she had to torture over the last sixteen years? Have the car batteries been used all that much?
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think the real question is, am I the only one who sees a hottie tied to a chainlink headboard and immediately thinks about Alyson Hannigan?

So, could the cable running from the ocean to Danielle's lair be generating electricity?
Only if it's plugged into a nuclear submarine.

I wouldn't immediately dismiss the possibility.
Russians coulda sold one to the polar bear.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
I'm starting to see the shape of the backstory here.
A gang of international polar bear smugglers ran their nuclear submarine into a reef... blah blah blah... illegal genetic research... mumble mumble mumble... polar bears on a treadmill... handwave handwave handwave... Hurley is Satan.
It all makes sense.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Have the car batteries been used all that much?
Car batteries will run down on their own in a year or two if they're not charged somehow.
Another possibility is that there was a more recent shipwreck/plane crash/lost motorist/reality show production company (take your pick) that Danielle scavenged after she killed that set of survivors.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
A car battery is only 12 volts, so I think it's unlikely that electrocution is a worry. Go wild.
For the record, it's not the voltage but the amperage that you have to watch out for. There's a specific amperage (I forget what the number is, exactly) that will stop the human heart that occurs at a fairly low power level - it interferes with the body's own nervous system signals. Shocks above that level might throw one's heart rhythm off temporarily, but I don't think there's much danger of death until you get into cooking territory.
