I read somewhere about a guy using one as a 144DC to 12VDC convertor instead of buying some expensive DC to DC convertor? I posted a question about this on the blog and turn out you can run these on DC. So I guess I now have a cheap DC to DC convertor. If anyone has done this let me know how?

It's a 2002 Saturn SL1 with 220,000 miles and a rough engine, however it still runs. I have also bought on Ebay a used Advanced FB1-4001A DC motor which was removed from a EV ranger for $511, the seller also had the controller, a CURTIS PMC model 1231C-8601, voltage 96-144, current 500 A, so I am getting both for $1050.
