The current battery configuration is 72 volts.
The charger is adjustable - you set the peak amperage. That's the amperage the charger starts off at when you plug it in and then the amperage drops as the voltage rises during the charging cycle.

The charger can output up to 20 amps. I usually would have it set to around 10 or so, as that doesn't pop 15-amp residential breakers.
