The charger on the Tropica appears to rectify the AC line into a bank of Caps and then 
switch that with 3 MOSFETS (I checked the part #) to produce the charging voltage. 
There's also an inductor but I don't remember where it was wired. During the MOSFET on 
time don't I have something approaching the peak AC line voltage going into the 
batteries? Will the Curtis controllers tolerate this? My pack is only 72 volts. I have 
been switching off the main breaker any time I'm not driving as there are no 
contactors between the controllers and the pack.

thanks,
Steve
