    Out of curiosity, I checked yesterday and it is 2/0 cable coming from the charger. As far as the inside, I would imagine a pretty good sized transformer just because of the amount of power this thing supplies (among several other things). However, the real reason I'm posting once again is that I'm pretty sure that it has a capacitor in it....and a substantial one at that! 36v 420a is not something you want to come near. So.....if you test it and find that it doesn't work, let it sit for a few weeks before attempting to tear into that sucker.
