I appreciate all the help.
My Iota has three 1000uF, 200v electrolytic capacitors.
Is replacing those with 250v devices is all that is needed?
I did read the file that discusses other ways to make the Iota more
reliable but it seems that the capacitor upgrade is the only thing that
needs to b

That's it! Thanks, David. :-)

Many devices are 88 to 264V, that will just work.

nonononono, don't ever do this
I thought I would save some bother and tapped five of my 18 T-105's
(yeah, lead, I know, but) to run the E-Meter on my car. My attitude
was "how bad could it be?"
Very bad. The brand new battery pack failed

Thus you need an ~170VDC source to equal the rectified 120VAC voltage.
202VDC would be too much and most likely blow something
I agree. I've reverse-engineered some of the Iota DLS-supplies, and all
of them had a simple br
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.

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
