Default Re: 12V Battery Replacement

Someone has mentioned that the emergency "jump start" does not involved up-converting the 12v to 330v to charge the HV battery, but instead just heats the HV battery using the 12v to power the coils. Apparently, just heating the HV battery can/could get enough extra out of it, to do one more ICE start.
