Cool,
Thats good to know.
Keep an eye on that 12V though, as you will only have 1 short time running without the dc/dc working before the dash lights go out.
The dc/dc on the earlier civics and the insight will also stop running when at over 4500 rpm when running without the stabilizing load of the battery, as it puts out too high a voltage.
You can get 260V out of the spinning IMA motor when at high rpm, and the output voltage is proportional to rpm, which is why it kicks out at below 1500rpm.
Good luck with your battery work
Mike
