ThunderStruck-EV Chevy Volt DC-DC Converter
The Accessory Power Control Module (“trunk inverter” GM model number 24262765) is a 2000Watt air-cooled, CAN-controlled, DC-DC converter designed to convert a nominal 360 VDC traction pack down to ~12 volts for powering the vehicle’s low voltage system and keeping the 12-volt battery charged. This DC-DC can be enabled by our VCU, MCU, EVCC or Can Translator, using the command set type volt. Voltage is set by using the command (e.g.) set voltage 13.8. This DC-DC converter cannot be used on the same canbus as the VCU for Nissan Leaf due to message conflicts – use an alternative device.
