Voltage doesn't kill. Current kills. You can kill yourself on very few volts, if it isn't current limited. 12V, 48v, no real difference. Maybe the K5 will have a couple of big honking ceramic tubes in the box and we'll need 3000v at 1.5A CCS. Going to have to upgrade my 180 A/h 12V backup battery system for that, for sure :-)
