On the other hand my ICD supplies 35 joules at full power. Not sure of the
voltage.

I find your conclusions questionable and I would advise great caution.
It was pointed out to you that 350 mJ stored in a supercapacitor at 2 V
is most unlikely to be lethal if applied to a person's skin, but a far
smaller charge could produce a lethal current if applied below the skin.
