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?
Not anymore.

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

Mmmm.... Alyson Hannigan....

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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.

True enough, Matt, but if a car battery could kill, think of how many weekend mechanics we'd find dead next to their cars.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The weird part is how the car battery still has a charge after 16 years
It was the cable running into the ocean! She--or they, before they all went nuts and she ate them--rigged an underwater generator powered by the movement of the waves!
I remember reading something a few years ago about using the ocean's currents to create low levels of electricity. So, could the cable running from the ocean to Danielle's lair be generating electricty?
Or, what lunda said.
Or, there's always the submarine theory.
