So peak power is around 600 watts, power supply efficiency is 82%, and voltage is 40.3 KV. So amperage is 0.82*600 watts/40.3 KV=~ 12 milliamps. It's not necessarily fatal[0], but it's not going to be a good day either. In general, hundreds of watts of high voltage DC is not something to take lightly. At the very least, you might accidentally fry any microelectronics on your person! Possibly even near your person(due to the arcing you cause)! High voltage DC has a tendency to make microelectronics nonfunctional. [0]https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2015/02/what_electrici...
