He's going to 56 CALB lithium-ion modules and the top-end voltage under

reprogram his controller to limit that). His current DC-DC is a stock
Solectria unit (probably has a Vicor brick in it). If it can take up to
200V, then it could work.
The stock Solectria DC/DCs that I have contain *two* Vicor bricks. They
are the special 200vdc nominal ones I mentioned, good for 150-250vdc.
But they also built some 156vdc cars. I suspect these would have had the
standard Vicor 150vdc nominal bricks (100-200v range). It's worth
checking to see what you have before you blow it up!
