12 volts.
Solenoid is nothing more than an simple light switch, it doesn't "crank up" anything, it just turns on (closes) a circuit.
Now the battery AMPS do make a difference, but even still 12 volts (not counting the ignition coil) doesn't have the power to hurt you by voltage alone.
Short out the battery and you can get a nasty burn and flame near a battrey can make it explode.
DC shock hazards don't happen till you are up to something like 40+VDC
This was Edison's big argument saying his DC power was safer than AC power. He electrocuted an elephant to prove his point.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
