With the HV battery removed, the DC/DC converter still works above about 1500 RPM. The IMA/engine/battery lights are illuminated constantly, and the RPM runs a little high (maybe purposely controls the CVT to keep engine speed high for the generator?).
Anyway, the car runs fine without the HV battery. I don't anticipate running the 12V battery dead knowing that the charging system still works, but I'll be taking the highway when its an option to guarantee good charges.
Now on to the refurb...
