CORRECTIONS:
1. The 16V battery uses prismatic cells from CATL, not pouch cells.

POSTVIDEO ADDITIONS:
1. The 16V negative terminal is NOT connected to the battery housing; it is isolated.
2. During an oncar 16V battery discharge experiment, the MOSFET transistors opened with the battery voltage at 13.8V, the State of Charge (SOC) was ~10%, and the car shut off. The discharge took 10 minutes.
3. With the MOSFETs open, a regular battery jumper box (12.6V) did not power up the system; however, the boost feature of the jumper box brought the voltage to 13.9V, and the Tesla immediately turned on. The 16V battery took another 30 minutes to fully recover from 10% SOC to 79% SOC.
