the stock Lexus GS450h (the car my motors came from) hybrid battery pack was only something like 288 volts, but that car used a booster converter to up it to as high as 650 volts (to push lower amps) Rated for a combined 250kW output, meaning using gasoline powered engine plus only the single electric motor in the transmission (more on this later) that's 375 horse power.
the pack I am using is from a different plug in hybrid car a BMW 530e which had a 350 volt battery pack. Based on the world's #1 best selling electric car, the Tesla Model 3 and the world's #2 best selling electric car the Nissan Leaf that's all we need as they both run 350 volt packs. It's what I call a full voltage pack. Of course they have a much larger fuel tank capacity if you will than my little 9.1 kWh one.
hope that answers your question
