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 :-)
