By the way, how would someone trickle charge a spare hybrid battery pack? 24V connection? If this is correct, then there has to be a way to do the same with the hybrid battery pack inside your vehicle.
In order to charge a 330V pack you'll have to generate >330V... so a 24V connection is going to need a step up conversion...

The FEH generator must either produce this voltage OR it is steped up with electronics... likely the second since the voltage produced by the generator would be related to its RPM.
