i would need to see a further explanation on this. I could blast something with energy to charge it faster but it will overheat. Theres a reason why wires are rated for amps and temps not voltages. (*to a certain point, the HV stuff just gets into safety issues around people and arcs, not dealing with the energy and heat side)
