The DLS-55 is designed to run off of 120V AC. The standard U.S. AC outlet voltage is 120VAC rms +-10% The peak voltage is Vrms x sqrt 2 = Vrms x 1.414. 120Vrms = 170Vpeak 240Vrms = 340Vpeak Many devices that use AC wall power have a simple bridge rectifier or bridge doubler at the input. The

I am in the process of changing my 156v DC lead-acid eLectric DeLorean to lithium. I am using eight Tesla Battery Modules for a total of ~202v DC maximum. Previously I was using an Iota DLS-55 to keep my auxiliary battery charged. It worked great and fit well too. Is there a way to run the
