1999 MIT/Ford/Motorola meeting minutes. Discussion re switching and protection systems in new 12V/42V dual voltage dual battery cars. Fascinating insight into the workings of minds on a project which will influence the electronics in all future cars. Interesting costing comments. Motorola smart-post slides are main part of document and worth skimming. http://lees.mit.edu/public/Workgroups/Jumpstarting/1999-06-09/Jun_9_Minutes.pdf The Jump-Starting groups home page. http://lees.mit.edu/public/Workgroups/Jumpstarting/Jumpstarting.htm This appears to be the "Jumpstarting Workgroup".
