Therefore, at a max of 177, it will charge as low as 138v (which is actually 1.5v higher than what is given to the battery, as that is lost from diodes).
Thanks for the good info.

Once the HV Battery reaches 177V after charging it for many hours, for how long do you top it off? Also, what is DC fuse?

Thank you
