I guess it can't hurt, since they're "dead" anyway. But this is anecdotal evidence at best, hardly something to hang your hat on.
Old farts like me remember some of the old giant ER LifePak debrillators that could go to 500 joules. There's a reason everything has been dialed back down. Not everything functions along the lines of "if a little is good a lot must be better".
I've has a medical director instruct me to get another lifepack and shock at 720, however the patient converted into asystole befor the second lifepack arrived.
