I have several of the ODCs like yours and they have held up well under constant use over a couple of years. Best brand for the fishing I do, which is 80% packin to creeks and rivers. Nothing else even comes close to the periodically discounted price, since you get light weight, quality and reliability.
The big cylindrical adapter is the one that fits your boston valve. The tapered end goes into the valve once you remove the square cap and the other cylindrical end goes into the hose for the hand pump.
I've had friends test good 9v batteries by placing the points across their moist
. But that same 9v battery will knock a man down when amplified to 10,000v in a stun gun, so I think you need considerably higher voltages than 12v or even 36v, to be dangerous from shocking. Bridging the battery terminals with a metal object is an instant fire hazard as TD pointed out. The venting is mainly for releasing hydrogen gas which is very flammable and powerfully explosive if ignited while confined- like what happened in the Japanese nuclear plant.
Hope this helps.

Tube came with this adapter to... That doesn't help me at all.
