so dont touch it
i have run my transformer from a 230v supply outputting 75amps easy @ 13.8v
but be aware if you have no way of adjusting the voltage the voltage will raise with no load connected and fall with heavy current drains so take this in to account when calculating the turns ratio for the secondary
